英语词汇syphilis的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

syphilis. “mrs. grundy’s disease” is on the increase in America and throughout the world. Over the ages it has claimed millions, often due to ignorance and superstition, its victims including Herod, Julius Caesar, three popes, Magel- lan, Columbus, Capt. James Cook, Louis XIV, Henry VIII, Keats, Baudelaire, Schubert, Schumann, Goya, Nietzsche, de Sade, Goethe, Beethoven, Ivan the Terrible, Napoleon, and Lord Randolph Churchill. The disease has gone by many names through history and wasn’t first contracted among na- tives in the New World; in fact, it may have been described by Thucydides as far back as 430 b.c. as “the plague of Pireaus.” The word syphilis itself derives from the name of a character in Girolamo Fracastro’s poem Syphilis sive Morbus Gallicus, “Syphilis, or the French Disease” (1530). This New World fa- ble tells of the blasphemous shepherd Syphilis who so enraged the Sun God that he struck him with a “new” disease: “He first wore buboes dreadful to the sight,/First felt strange pains and sleepless past the night;/ From him the malady received its name.”
