Summary:
No século IV, o poeta latino Arátor escreveu a epopeia bíblica História Apostólica, baseada nos Atos de Lucas e cujo segundo livro exalta a gesta evangelizadora de Paulo. Além de engrandecer o herói cristão, o poeta medita sobre questões como a tipologia bíblica e o batismo. Este trabalho visa dar a conhecer ao público Arátor e uma parte significativa da sua obra, agora traduzida para português. Embora pouco conhecido e divulgado no nosso país, Arátor foi um dos grandes cultores da epopeia bíblica, na senda de Juvenco, Prudêncio e Sedúlio, aparecendo como autor de referência sobretudo na Idade Média. In the 4th century, the Latin poet Arator wrote the Biblical epic Apostolic History based on the Luke-Acts, the second book of which glorifies the evangelizing epistles of Paul, and meditates upon questions such as Biblical typology and baptism. This work aims to bring Arator and his work to public attention, now translated into Portuguese. Though Arator is little known in Portugal, he was one of the great cultivators of the Biblical epic in the tradition of Juvenal, Prudentius and Sedulius, and was considered to be a very important author in the Middle Ages.
