The thrust of Polybius' anecdote is the extent to which the tyrannical cruelty of Nabis would drive him. Neither F. W. Walbank (''A Historical Commentary on Polybius'', vol. II, 1967:420f) nor P.A. Cartledge and A.J.S. Spawforth, ''Hellenistic and Roman Sparta: A Tale of Two Cities'' London 1989:72) believe this story. Sarah B. Pomeroy, ''Spartan Women'' 2002:90, credits it because of other documented Hellenistic automata; Evan T. Sage, "An ancient robotette", ''Classical Journal'', 30.5 (February 1935: 299–300) withholds judgement〕 as an ancient torture device similar to the iron maiden. It was invented by Nabis, a king who ruled Sparta as a tyrant from 207 to 192 BC. ==Device description== The mechanical Apega, according to Polybius, was a machine, a well-executed replica or duplicate of the real wife of Nabis, and was used by Nabis to collect money from unwilling Spartan citizens. Those who didn't give money were sent to deal with his wife. This was the replica, dressed in expensive clothing, with arms outstretched. When the drunken visitors hugged her, this triggered the arms to close. The device's arms, hands, and breasts were covered with iron nails, and the arms were capable of crushing the body of its victim. Nabis would control the machine through hidden switches and devices, until the victim agreed to pay a tribute or to the point of death. The automaton, Apega, was one of the advancements in technology of the ancient Greco-Roman world used as implements of torture, along with other torture devices such as the cross, the wheel, and the brazen bull of Phalaris.〔Clements, Barbara (University Communications staff writer), (“Apega of Nabis.” one of the “Machines of Malice” on a Discovery Channel program aired on September 23, 2008 ), Professor (Eric Nelson) Appears On Discovery Channel This Week, Campus Voice, Pacific Lutheran University, New.PLU.edu, Sept 19, 2008〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Apega of Nabis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
