Abstract

ROSSI, Andrea Lucia Dorini de Oliveira Carvalho. A poesia épica na construção dos Discursos de Dion Crisóstomo. Acta Scientiarum. Education [online]. 2010, vol.32, n.01, pp.19-26. ISSN 2178-5201.

The construction of images in the speeches of Dion Chrysostom was drawn from references in Homer. When the orator uses images from Greek epic poetry, Dion Chrysostom intimates the representation of images found in the literature to propagate his philosophical and political ideas during the first century A.D. under the administration of the emperors Domitian, Nerva and Trajan. Current analysis of the author’s works discusses literature as one of the representational forms of Hellenistic identity under Roman domination.

Keywords : Epic Poetry; Myths; Hellenism; Roman Dominion; Dion Chrysostom.
