A análise das artes grammaticae dos gramáticos latinos, como é o caso de Diomedes e sua ars, faz parte de um conjunto de estudos pertencentes à área da Historiografia Linguística, e que têm como corpus um texto antigo, através do qual, seguindo a proposta de Swiggers (2013, p. 43), busca-se contribuir, modestamente, para a compreensão do ideário linguístico e seu desenvolvimento. Essa contribuição se inicia, neste trabalho, a partir das contextualizações histórica e sociolinguística do texto sob análise, a fim de ilustrar a dinâmica instaurada em um texto gramatical antigo da coexistência das línguas grega e latina na sociedade da época. Com base nesse contexto, apresentamos e avaliamos os indícios no texto que decorrem do caráter bilíngue sociorregional, levando, também em consideração a língua do potencial leitor da gramática e a própria metalinguagem utilizada pelo autor. / In this dissertation we intend to examine, in the Ars grammatica of Diomedes, the textual elements and grammatical concepts that could represent reflections from the Greek and Latin bilingualism in the society in which this work was inserted, more specifically in the region of Constantinople, the late capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, where the grammar might have been published around the last years of the 4th century AD. The analysis of the artes grammaticae of Latin grammarians, such as Diomedes and his ars, is constituent of a combination of studies belonging to the field of Historiography of Linguistics, which have ancient texts as corpus. Through this corpus, according to the approach of Swiggers (2013, p. 43), we look for providing a modest contribution to the comprehension of the linguistic ideas and their development. This contribution initiates in this work from the historical and sociolinguistic contextualization of the text under analysis, in order to illustrate the dynamics of the coexistence of the Greek and Latin languages established in an ancient grammatical text at that time. Based on this context, we demonstrate and evaluate the traces in the text which originate from the socio-regional bilingual features, taking as well into consideration the language of the potential reader of the grammar and the metalanguage itself used by the author.

<p>The epic hero Diomedes is, in my opinion, considered a marginal hero, as he is relegated to a backbench in ancient Greek thought and ideology. I examine why this is the case, considering his role and impact in Homer's <em>Iliad</em>. Greek society valued its epic heroes beyond the words of the poets, yet some heroes received much more attention that others as central characters in tragedy and iconography, consequently regarded as favourites by mass audiences. I believe that examining a marginal hero like Diomedes is important in order to understand why Greek culture generally disregarded some warriors in favour of others, especially in the case of Diomedes, who displays heroic virtues more evidently than several other heroes who have received more attention. Overall Greek attitudes toward him offer an intriguing perspective on the epic heroes and the ways in which the Greeks idealized them. An examination of Greek literary, visual, and religious spheres of influence effectively aid in determining the reasons behind this phenomenon. In summary, this work attempts to understand Greek attitudes towards a hero who has received very little scholarly attention. The concept of the epic hero requires analysis of even the most neglected characters; one cannot understand Odysseus, Achilles, or Hector without examining Diomedes, who has a notable role in the very same tradition as the aforementioned heroes.</p> / Master of Arts (MA)
