Lucretia - Lucretia (English spelling)
A legendary chaste woman from ancient Rome who is said to have died around 510 B.C. According to legend, she was the beautiful wife of Tarquinius Collatinus, but was raped by Sextus, the son of the Roman king Tarquinius Superbus, and committed suicide, entrusting her relatives with revenge. Her death stirred up hatred among the Roman people against the tyranny of the royal family, and they revolted, expelled the king, and established the Republic (509 B.C.). Her tragedy itself is not recognized as historical fact. [Ryuichi Hirata]

前510年ごろ没したとされる,古代ローマの伝説上の貞女。伝説によれば彼女はタルクイニウス・コラティヌスの美貌の妻であったが,ローマ王タルクイニウス・スペルブスの子セクストゥスに強姦され,親族に復讐を託して自害した。彼女の死は王一族の暴政に対するローマ市民の憎悪をかきたて,彼らは蜂起して王を追放し,共和政を樹立したと伝えられる(前509)。彼女の悲劇そのものは史実とは認められない。【平田 隆一】
