Abstract(s)
Na Grécia antiga, era comum os alunos estudarem a grandeza da epopeia
homérica de forma lúdica, a partir de breves histórias de animais, figuras que conheciam
da fábula. O primeiro contacto com os poemas de Homero fazia-se, por isso, por acesso
a textos de teor pedagógico que apresentavam animais a comportarem-se como os
valorosos heróis da tradição épica. Neste ensaio, pretendo explorar o universo das
chamadas fábulas épicas ou epopeias animalescas, estreitando os influxos que esse género
recebe do seu modelo. O eixo estrutural de base deste estudo consiste na premissa de que
enquanto na epopeia antiga, na homérica em particular, os heróis agem muitas vezes como
bestas ferozes, como mostram vários símiles, nas narrativas épicas animalescas, por outro
lado, os animais são dotados de estatuto heróico.
In ancient Greece, it was very common students learn the greatness of Homeric epic in a playful way, from short stories of animals, characters they already knew from fable. Thus, the first contact with the poems of Homer was made by reading/ listening texts of pedagogical content that showed animals behaving as mighty heroes of epic tradition. In this essay, I intent to exploit the universe of the so-called epic fables or beast epic, tightening the influxes that this mixed gender get from its model. The structural axis of this study is based on the premise that while in ancient epic, the Homeric one, heroes often behave like beasts, as many similes show, in beast epic, on the other hand, animals are provided with heroic status.
