Valerius Maximus' exempla collection, Facta et dicta memorabilia, has for a long time stayed out of focus of modern literary science. Viewed rather as a practical handbook for orators, it had earned criticism for its allegedly low literary value, especially in the first half of the 20th century. Although this view was later revised at least to some extent, and Valerius was admitted to have literary ambitions in so far that his work was characterized as an original literary achievement of an author who in his collection presented a summary of moral values and standards of his time, the interest in his work has stayed rather fragmented, with researchers preferring to analyze only its specific aspects (such as ethics, religion, historical reflection, etc.). This thesis aims for a comprehensive view of Valerius' collection as a whole against the analysis of theoretical interpretation of exemplum as preserved within the Roman theoretical rhetorical writings. The interpretation is performed by the analysis of the whole, examining the way the entire collection is arranged, through the description of the structure and division of individual chapters, down to the level of the core structural unit, the exemplum. It emphasizes information related to the work's focus or to the inclusion of specific topics that Valerius...

O presente trabalho intitula-se Valério Máximo, Roma e o outro: imagens da Grécia em Roma no século I d.C.. Tem por objetivo analisar, dentro da obra Feitos e Ditos Memoráveis de Valério Máximo, escritor romano do século I d.C., as diferentes formas de representação dos gregos e de sua influência cultural. Pretendemos apresentar duas visões axiais presentes no texto. Uma apresenta a Grécia sob uma imagem positiva, reconhecendo as numerosas contribuições da cultura grega aos romanos. A outra, negativa, vê os gregos como potencialmente corruptores, e procura rotulá-los com defeitos. Há uma utilização pragmática destes dois tropoi retóricos. Esses variam de acordo com a necessidade do autor de ilustrar um dado feito ou dito memorável sob um tema predeterminado, como "sobre os ingratos", por exemplo. Os Feitos e Ditos Memoráveis possuem grande variedade de assuntos e uma organização por temática, constituindo assim um importante registro dos temas relevantes na cultura romana na primeira metade do século I d.C.. O presente trabalho foi realizado com o apoio do CNPq - Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - Brasil, sob a forma da concessão de Bolsa de Mestrado. / The following work is entitled Valerius Maximus, Rome and the other: images of Greece in Rome in the first century AD. It aims to analyse, in the work Memorable Doings and Sayings of Valerius Maximus, Roman writer of the first century AD, the different representations of the Greeks and their cultural influence. We intend to present two main approaches, as they appear depicted in the text. The first one presents Greece under a positive image, recognizing the many contributions of Greek culture to the Romans. The other, negative, sees Greeks as potential corruptors, and intends to criticize them. There is a pragmatic use of those two rhetorical tropoi. They vary according to the author´s need to illustrate a given memorable deed or saying under a predetermined theme, such as "on the ungrateful" for instance. The Memorable Doings and Sayings encompasses a large variety of matters, and a thematical organization, thus constituting an important record of relevant themes in Roman culture on the first half of the first century AD. This work was done with the support of the National Council for Scientifical and Technological Development - CNPq - Brazil, through the concession of a Mastery scholarship.
