O presente texto trata do Panatenaico, de autoria do ateniense Isócrates. O discurso, inicialmente apresentado como um elogio de Atenas e uma censura a Esparta, destaca-se dentro da obra isocrática por conter, em seu final, um diálogo entre Isócrates e um de seus alunos. Depois de considerar as principais linhas interpretativas, procede-se a um exame e interpretação dessa seção. No próximo capítulo, abordam-se as declarações autobiográficas de Isócrates, usando-se para tanto da teoria retórica contemporânea quanto dos escritos isocráticos, mostrando seu caráter tópico. O objetivo é mostrar como Isócrates constrói uma imagem de si para ganhar a confiança de seu público. No final deste trabalho, apresentamos uma tradução em protuguês do Panatenaico. / The subject of this text is the Panathenaicus, a work by the Athenian Isocrates. The speech at first presents itself as en eulogy of Athens and a reproach of Sparta. Great part of the interest in the text lies on the final section, where we find a dialogue between Isocrates and one of his ancient students. After reviewing the major interpretative lines, we proceed to an analysis and interpretation of the section. In the next chapter, the autobiographical statements of Isocrates in its works are analysed according the contemporary rhetorical theory and the author\'s own writings. Our aim in this section is to show that Isocrates\' self-description is a rhetorical proceeding intended to win over the readers. Finally, at the end of this work, it is presented a translation of the Panathenaicus.

This thesis examines the influence of Parthenius' doctrine of erotika pathemata on the Neoteric epyllion. His influence on Cinna has been readily acknowledged, but except for a few incidental and tentative references, little has been made of his role in determining important features of Neoteric poetry; in fact, many Leading scholars in the field fail even to mention him. A survey of the evolution of the epyllion in the Hellenistic world shows a radical transformation of the Callimachean type by Euphorion and Parthenius", in the late Alexandrian era. It is clearly the late Alexandrian epyllion that became popular with the Neoterics, as the relevant works of Catullus and, what can be conjectured about the nature of the lost Neatenc epyllia suggest. There is a marked bias towards tragic love-stories, sensational and bizarre, often metamorphic and with ample scope for emotional analysis and a subjective treatment. These features closely parallel the tenor of Parthenius', summary of 36 love-stories in the Erotika Pathemata, his only wholly extant work. While the collection was dedicated to Comelius Gallus well after most of the Neoteric epyllia were written, it is safe to assume that Parthenius preached his doctrine from the time of his arrival at Rome, as his widely acknowledged influence on Cinna's Zmyrna, perhaps the first Latin epyllion, seems to suggest. This thesis cannot pretend to defend Ross' extravagant claim that "without Parthenius' timely arrival there could have been no New Poetry"; but it can attempt to illuminate Parthenius' central role in establishing the nature of the Neoteric epyllion. This study has been undertaken, then, in the belief that Parthenius' influence on the Neoterics and on the creation of a new genre at Rome warrants closer scrutiny than has so far been attempted. Thus, it seeks to provide an alternate basis for the analysis of poems like 63 and 64, and heralds a possible shift from the emphasis on the autobiographical approach, which, though undoubtedly valid, has been belaboured in recent years to the point of excess.

Partant du constat de l'omniprésence de Lucien dans son corpus, notre thèse se propose de dresser un panorama des autoreprésentations auctoriales dans l'ensemble de l'œuvre de Lucien de Samosate, mais dans une perspective résolument théorique. En effet, parce qu'il se constitue comme point focal de sa propre œuvre, Lucien a souvent tendance à faire l'objet d'une lecture biographique de la part de la critique. Cette thèse se donne pour objet de redonner à l'autoreprésentation de l'auteur son sens de geste poétique. En choisissant le terme de figure, auquel on donne ici un sens plus restreint qu'à celui de persona, on s'intéressera uniquement aux moments où l'auteur fait explicitement l'objet de son propre discours.La première partie de notre thèse consiste donc en une importante typologie des mises en scène de soi chez Lucien: on part des apparitions les plus explicites de l'auteur en contexte référentiel, dans le corpus oratoire ou biographique, pour traiter ensuite de la partie fictionnelle du corpus. L'un des objectifs de ce travail est en effet de redonner à Lucien sa place de pionnier dans l'invention de l'autofiction.La seconde partie de notre thèse tire les conclusions poétiques de cette typologie, en dégageant aux autoreprésentations de l'auteur une double fonction : d'abord, elles doivent dire l'individu social et intellectuel, mais dans une démarche qui transcende les genres et la séparation traditionnelle entre référentialité et fiction. Ensuite, les figures de l'auteur ont pour fonction de servir de vecteur à un message métapoétique extrêmement riche, qui va de la théorie de la fiction à celle de la réception. / The starting point of this PhD thesis was the constatation of Lucian's omnipresence within his own corpus. This phenomenon often led critics to have an excessively biographical approach to this author. The aim of this thesis is thus to give an account of the vast scope of self-representations within Lucian's corpus, in a theoretical perspective, in order to show that the staging of the self can be seen as a poetical gesture. The first part of this work thus consists in a typology of all the auctorial self-representations that can be found within Lucian's œuvre. It ranges from the most explicit forms of authorial presence, in referential works, such as prolaliai and biographies, to the most fictional part of the corpus. The aim of this work is to establish Lucian's position as a pioneer in the invention of autofiction.The second part of this thesis draws the theoretical conclusions of this typology, by showing that authorial self-representations have two main functions : first, they help defining Lucian's social and intellectual identity, beyond generic boudaries ; second, they serve a metaliterary purpose : as vicarious surrogates, Lucian's doubles appear as a powerful means of expressing his aesthetical views.

La Bibliothèque d’Apollodore, probablement composée au IIe ou au IIIe s. ap. J.-C., vise à rassembler les légendes et les mythes grecs en un système cohérent organisé selon un plan généalogique. Son auteur fonde son travail sur les écrits qui faisaient autorité en la matière, en particulier ceux des grands mythographes en prose du Ve s., parmi lesquels Phérécyde et Acousilaos sont les plus souvent nommés par Apollodore. Ce travail se propose d’analyser les rapports entre ces deux mythographes anciens et la Bibliothèque. Il examine chaque mention de leur nom dans cet ouvrage, et confronte tous leurs fragments au texte de la Bibliothèque, afin de comprendre pourquoi Apollodore choisit de les nommer ou, au contraire, de ne pas le faire ; pourquoi il les suit ou pourquoi il s’en écarte ; quelle place ils occupent réellement dans son traité. Plus largement, ce travail présente une réflexion sur les liens génériques entre la Bibliothèque et les mythographes anciens, en examinant en particulier la question de leur écriture, afin de comprendre comment Apollodore se situe par rapport aux premiers traités mythographiques grecs. / Apollodorus’ Library, probably written during the 2nd or 3rd century A. D., aims at gathering Greek legends and myths in a coherent system based upon a genealogical structure. Its author bases his work on the most authoritative sources, including prestigious 5th-century mythographers as Pherecydes and Acusilaus, whose names are the most mentioned ones in Apollodorus’ treatise, along with Hesiod’s. This work analyses the links between those two ancient mythographers and the Library. It takes a close look at every mention of their name, and compares all their fragments to Apollodorus’ text, in order to understand how and why he cites them or not ; why he draws on them or chooses other sources ; what is their real influence on his treatise. This study also offers a reflection about the links between the Library and the ancient mythographical tradition as a genre, mainly on the basis of their respective style.
