Η παρούσα διδακτορική διατριβή κινήθηκε γύρω από έναν κεντρικό άξονα: την ιστορία και την κριτική της λογοτεχνίας στα δύο μεγάλα γένη της αρχαίας ελληνικής γραμματείας (επική και λυρική ποίηση). Στόχος της είναι η εξέταση της αρχαίας λογοτεχνικής κριτικής στο αριστοτελικό corpus με βάση το στερεότυπο κείμενο, προκειμένου να μελετηθούν αναλυτικά η λειτουργία, η σπουδαιότητα και τα όριά της. Μπορεί ο Αριστοτέλης να ασκεί αμιγώς λογοτεχνική κριτική στο Περὶ ποιητικῆς, στα κεφ. 1-12 του τρίτου βιβλίου του Περὶ ῥητορικῆς, στα βιβλία Α, α, Λ του Μετὰ τὰ Φυσικὰ και ενίοτε σε κάποια άλλα συγγράμματά του, αλλά η παρούσα εργασία στοχεύει στην περαιτέρω ανάλυση, στο μέτρο του δυνατού, όλων των αναφορών του σε κάποιον επικό ή λυρικό ποιητή και στην εξαγωγή χρήσιμων συμπερασμάτων. Η εργασία διαρθρώνεται σε επτά κεφάλαια, ακολουθούν τα συμπεράσματα (8ο κεφάλαιο), έπεται η βιβλιογραφία (πρωτογενής και δευτερογενής) και δύο ευρετήρια παραθεμάτων (αρχαίων και νεότερων κύριων ονομάτων) που βοηθούν στην ανάγνωσή της. / The present doctoral thesis was motivated by a central axis: the history and the criticism of literature in the two big genres of ancient Greek literature (epic and lyric poetry). The main objective of this dissertation is the examination of ancient literary criticism of the corpus of Aristotle which is based on the stereotyped text, so that the function, the importance and its limits are studied analytically. Aristotle exerts constructive literary criticism in the Poetics, in third book of Rhetoric (chapters 1-12), in the books A, a, L of Metaphysics and occasionally in some of his other works, however, the present approach aims at the further analysis, as much as possible, of all reports on an epic or lyric poet and the inference of useful conclusions. The research is divided into seven chapters, the conclusions (ch. 8), the bibliography (primary and secondary) and two indeces passages (ancient and new principal names) that help the interpretation.

Esta dissertação apresenta um estudo seguido de tradução da tragédia Reso, tradicionalmente atribuída a Eurípides. No estudo, busca-se comparar o tratamento dado na peça ao mito de Reso e ao tema da astúcia (mêtis) com aquele presente em Ilíada X, tomando-se Odisseu como figura central: a partir dele, são abordados, por semelhança e dessemelhança, as demais personagens da peça e a visão de mêtis que cada uma tem ao longo da trama, além da estrutura da tragédia e as relações existentes entre os planos humano e divino. O objetivo principal é mostrar que os dois textos estão bem inseridos nos seus respectivos períodos e ilustram certa transformação no status do conceito estudado. / This research presents a study followed by a translation of Rhesus, a tragedy traditionally attributed to Euripides. In the study, we aim at comparing the treatment the play gives to Rhesuss myth and the theme of cunning intelligence (mêtis) with that presented by Iliad X. Taking Odysseus as the central figure, we make an approach (through similitude and dissimilitude) of the other characters of the play, as well as of the view concerning mêtis that each of them expresses in the action, the structure of the play and the relationship between men and gods. Our main purpose is to show that both texts are well inserted in their respective periods and illustrate some change in the status of the concept of mêtis.

Tradução e estudo do discurso \"Contra Timarco\", de Ésquines. O estudo se concentra na condição tríplice do texto, como discurso jurídico, retrato do comportamento sexual masculino da Atenas do Período Clássico e exemplo da recepção primitiva da obra homérica em uma situação distante do contexto dos festivais e simpósios. / Translation and study of the speech \"Against Timarchos\", by Aeschines. The analysis focus on the trifold condition of the text, as a juridical speech, a portrait of the male sexual behavior in Classic Athens and an example of early reception of Homer\'s poetry, in a condition that differs from festivals and symposiums.

This thesis raises and explores questions concerning the popularity of the Homeric poems in ancient Greece. It asks why the Iliad and Odyssey held such continuing appeal among the Greeks of the Archaic and Classical age. Cultural products such as poetry cannot be separated from the sociopolitical conditions in which and for which they were originally composed and received. Working on the basis that the extent of Homer’s appeal was inspired and sustained by the peculiar and determining historical circumstances, I set out to explore the relation of the social, political and ethical conditions and values of Archaic and Classical Greece to those portrayed in the Homeric poems. The Greeks, at the time during which Homer was composing his poems, had begun to establish a new form of social organisation: the polis. By examining historical, literary and philosophical texts from the Archaic and Classical age, I explore the manner in which Greek society attempted to reorganise and reconstitute itself in a different way, developing original modes of social and political activity which the new needs and goals of their new social reality demanded. I then turn to examine Homer’s treatment of and response to this social context, and explore the various ways in which Homer was able to reinterpret and reinvent the inherited stories of adventure and warfare in order to compose poetry that not only looks back to the highly centralised and bureaucratic society of the Mycenaean world, but also looks forward, insistently so, to the urban reality of the present. I argue that Homer’s conflation of a remembered mythical age with the contemporary conditions and values of Archaic and Classical Greece aroused in his audiences a new perception and understanding of human existence in the altered sociopolitical conditions of the polis and, in so doing, ultimately contributed to the development of new ideas on the manner in which the Greeks could best live together in their new social world.

Antes de tratar de algumas odes específicas, um breve panorama pelos textos horacianos destaca diversas alusões às epopeias de Homero. Então, teorias intertextuais ajudam a analisar tanto poemas que aparentemente rejeitam a épica ou outros padrões elevados (como os Carmina 4.15, 4.2, 2.1, 2.12, 1.6 e 3.3), quanto aqueles que incorporam, de modo patente ou latente, diferentes passagens, versos, fórmulas e palavras das epopeias de Homero. Essas odes são agrupadas em três grandes conjuntos: o conflito entre amor e guerra (C 1.15, 1.17, 2.4, 3.7 e 3.20); a passagem pelos infernos (C 2.13 e 2.14); a poesia da memória e da eternidade, disfarçada em poemas laudatórios (C 4.6, 4.8 e 4.9). Como um anexo final, uma tabela apresenta mais de quinhentas referências nas Odes à Ilíada e à Odisseia de Homero, coletadas ao longo da pesquisa / Abstract: Starting from Horace¿s Odes, this dissertation investigates the presence of epic features, mainly Homeric ones, and how the Latin poet adjusts them to his lyric work ¿ a process better defined as `modulation.¿ Before dealing with a selection of odes, a quick survey of Horace¿s texts highlights several allusions to Homer¿s epics. Then, theories of intertextuality help to analyse both poems that apparently refuse an epic or elevated standard (like Carmina 4.15, 4.2, 2.1, 2.12, 1.6, and 3.3), and those that frankly or evasively incorporate different passages, lines, formulas or words from Homer. These odes are divided into three main groups: the conflict of love and war (such as C 1.15, 1.17, 2.4, 3.7, and 3.20); the passage through the underworld (C 2.13 and 2.14); the poetry of memory and eternity, disguised as laudatory poems (C 4.6, 4.8, and 4.9). As a final appendix, a table presents more than five hundred references in the Odes to Homer¿s Iliad and Odyssey, gathered throughout the research / Doutorado / Linguistica / Doutor em Linguística
