During the Second Temple period (516 BCE–70 CE) a series of developments contributed to a growing reticence to use the divine name, YHWH. The name was eventually restricted among priestly and pious circles, and then disappeared. The variables are poorly understood and the evidence is scattered. Scholars have supposed that the second century BCE was a major turning point from the use to non-use of the divine name, and depict this phenomenon as a linear development. Many have arrived at this position, however, through only partial consideration of currently available evidence. The current study offers for the first time a complete collection of extant evidence from the Second Temple period in Aramaic, Hebrew, and Greek in order answer the question of how, when, and in what sources the divine name is used and avoided. The outcome is a modified chronology for the Tetragrammaton’s history. Rather than a linear development from use to avoidance, the extant evidence points to overlapping use and non-use throughout most of the Second Temple period. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Este trabalho apresenta uma tradução, seguida de comentários, das seis odes de Baquílides que chegaram aos dias atuais agrupadas sob o rótulo de ditirambos, embora essa classificação seja hoje objeto de debate. O estudo dos poemas tem como foco a sua linguagem, sobretudo a abundante ocorrência de epítetos que nela se nota, traço já reconhecidamente característico na obra de Baquílides. Procura-se por meio da observação detalhada de tais termos delinear traços peculiares do estilo do poeta, os quais contribuem para conferir, no mínimo, unidade estilística a um corpus díspar do ponto de vista da estrutura de cada ode. A partir do mesmo processo, pretende-se ainda analisar o modo como os epítetos em Baquílides dialogam com aqueles das demais tradições poéticas gregas, principalmente os da épica homérica. São considerados, enfim, também como ponto de contato com as tradições aparentemente privilegiadas pelo poeta, o tratamento que ele dispensa aos mitos gregos e as escolhas por ele feitas nesse sentido, questões que podem colaborar para nossa compreensão do gênero poético ao qual seus supostos ditirambos pertencem, a mélica coral grega. / This work presents a translation, followed by comments, from the six odes of Bacchylides which survived under the label of dithyrambs, although this classification is nowadays a disputed issue. The study of the poems focuses on their language, especially on the abundant occurrence of epithets that can be noted, a characteristic feature usually recognized in the work of Bacchylides. Through a detailed observation of such terms, we aim at outlining peculiar traces of the poet\'s style, which contribute to give, at least, a stylistic unity to a diverse corpus regarding the structure of each ode. Using the same process, we intend also to examine how the epithets in Bacchylides dialogue with the ones from other Greek poetic traditions, especially the ones from Homeric epic. We take under consideration, finally, as a point of contact with the traditions apparently privileged by the poet, the way he treats Greek myths and the choices he makes in this regard, things that may help our understanding of the poetic genre to which his alleged dithyrambs belong, the Greek choral melic.
