This dissertation traces the course of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice in classical and later Western literature. Three particulars about myth serve to unify the discussion: myth evolves in literature; its meaning changes through the ages; some myths evolve art-forms in which to express themselves. Myth evolves in literature: Chapter I examines the twenty-one references to or treatments of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice in Greek and Roman authors, and attempts to show that the traditional story of Orpheus' backward glance and the second loss of Eurydice is a Hellenistic development of a story originally connected with Orphic mysteries. The fully developed myth is seen to combine elements of myth, legend and folklore. The meaning of myth changes through the ages: in the classical period (Chapter II), the separate themes in the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, themes of death, music and love (stemming from the mythical, legendary and folk elements, respectively), are stated in the Culex; but Orpheus for this age is primarily a great civilizing influence, and this is the context in which Virgil places him in the Georgics. In the Middle Ages (Chapter III), the myth is allegorized in Boethius and romanticized in the Middle English poem Sir Orfeo. In the Renaissance (Chapter IV), Orpheus is once more a symbol of the civilizing force, and the descent to Hades, though often alluded to, is less important than other myths in the Orpheus-cycle. The Orpheus bequeathed to literature by the opera (Chapter V) is more human and fallible, and in the Romantic age (Chapter VI) this figure is gradually fused with the mystical Orphic poet, so that the contemporary Orpheus of Rilke and Cocteau (Chapter VII) is again a symbol, but of man in his role of artist, seeking to communicate with another world. Myth sometimes evolves art-forms in which to express itself; Politian's Orfeo, a secular subject which used music to tell its story, is seen to be the forerunner of the opera (Chapter IV); later, the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice evolved the opera, in the works of the Florentine Camerata and Monteverdi, and served as the pattern for its reform, in Gluck (Chapter V). While the myth has meant something different to every age, there is a uniformity in its tradition: poets have always availed themselves of one or more of its three themes - the victory of death over life, the civilizing power of music, the problem of human emotion and its control. / Arts, Faculty of / Classical, Near Eastern and Religious Studies, Department of / Graduate

Focamo-nos no aspecto artístico dessa personagem, que freqüentemente é considerada o poeta, cantor e músico arquetípico. A seção da obra em que ela se insere como voz predominante é o livro X, do qual também propomos uma tradução, em prosa, ao final da dissertação. Nossa leitura considerou também a forma como a mesma personagem é apresentada em outro poeta romano, Virgílio, na seção final da obra Geórgicas. Como Ovídio dialoga de perto com a versão de seu antecessor, tal consideração se nos mostrou inevitável. O objetivo final é perceber a importância de se levar em conta o aspecto artístico da personagem para entendê-la no contexto do livro X das Metamorfoses, no qual Orfeu desponta como figura principal e dominante. / Abstract: This is a work on the mith of Orpheus, as narrated by the roman poet Ovid in his master piece Metamorphoses. We have focused on the artistic aspects of this character, who is often considered the archetipical poet, musician and singer. It is the dominant voice of Book 10, of which we offer a translation, in prose, at the end of this dissertation. Our readings have also taken into consideration the way this character is presented in another ronam poet, Vergil, in the final section of his work The Georgics. Considering Ovid dialogs closely to his antecessor, such consideration has presented itself unavoidable. The final goal is to aprehend the importance of taking into consideration the artistic aspects of the character in order to understand it in context of Book 10 of Metamorphoses, where Orpheus is the main dominant figure. / Mestrado / Linguistica / Mestre em Linguística

Será feita uma decupagem imagética e sonora analisando a trilha musical como recurso articulatório da narrativa fílmica. Serão observadas, também, as estratégias encontradas pelos diretores ao realizar a transcrição do mito Orfeu para a linguagem audiovisual. A dramaturgia dos filmes será analisada a partir de sua referência direta que é a peça "Orfeu da Conceição" de Vinicius de Moraes, que antecipou musicalmente a bossa nova. A análise compreenderá, ainda, o modo pelo qual a música se insere na dramaturgia específica do cinema e a importância do pensamento sonoro cinematográfico. O universo musical de Orfeu é tão vasto que, para se compreender as trilhas musicais dos filmes, será necessário visitá-lo em sua longa história, nas várias manifestações do mito, especialmente as dramático-musicais / Abstract: This reseach deals about the Orfeu's soundtrack including music, songs, sound design and sound edition from the movies "Black Orpheus", directed by Marcel Camus (1959), and "Orfeu", directed by Cacá Diegues (1999), likewise a creative elements and their relationships the sound and film language as a whole. The Orfeu's musical universe is so great that, to understand the soundtracks of the movies it's necessary visit and know the history of musical dramaturgy, in what many manifestations of the myth are found. The objective is to make an image and sound decupage by means of an analysis of the soundtrack as a narrative film resource. There'll be analysed too the director's strategies to make the transcription of the Orpheu's myth using the conventions of the film's language. The start point is the seminal work of Vinicius de Moraes - "Orfeu da Conceição" - that influences bossa nova and the related films. These analysis will include, either, the way music is used to articulate the dramaturgy in those movies, and the importance of the cinematografic's musical thought / Mestrado / Multimeios / Mestre em Multimeios
