- Summary:
- The Ilias Latina is a Latin resume of the Iliad, made by Bebius Italicus during Neronian times. In the first century B.C, the Trojan myth became gradually unknown through Iliad since Greek was learned only by the Roman aristocracy. During the Middle Ages, the Greek language was left aside in the Occident and the Iliad was lost until Italian scholars started to learn Greek with Byzantine travelers in the XIV century. The Troy War history had been more and more known via resumes, adaptations, and Latin versions of the Iliad. This is the context in which Ilias Latina can be inserted, and it is the only work of this group that survived well preserved over the centuries. The reduction of the Homeric Iliad to only 1070 verses provokes the loss of its original depth; however, the Ilias Latina has some interesting aspects. It is possible to see clearly how Bebius Italicus understood the Iliad through the passages and aspects he chooses to transmit, as well as what is possible to understand through his omissions and innovations towards the Homeric original poem.
- A IliÌada Latina eÌ um resumo em latim da IliÌada, feita por BeÌbio ItaÌlico na eÌpoca de Nero. JaÌ no seÌculo I a.C., o mito troiano passou a ser cada vez menos conhecido atraveÌs da IliÌada, jaÌ que o grego era apenas aprendido pela elite romana. Durante a Idade MeÌdia, o grego deixou de ser aprendido no Ocidente, e assim, a IliÌada se perdeu durante esse periÌodo, ateÌ que estudiosos italianos começaram a aprender grego com os viajantes bizantinos no seÌculo XIV. A histoÌria da guerra de Troia, portanto, passou gradativamente a ser conhecida atraveÌs de resumos, adaptaçoÌes e versoÌes em latim da IliÌada. EÌ nesse contexto que se insere a IliÌada Latina, uÌnica obra desse conjunto que permaneceu conservada ao longo dos seÌculos. A reduçaÌo da IliÌada homeÌrica para apenas 1070 versos inevitavelmente acarreta perda da profundidade original, mas a IliÌada Latina tambeÌm encerra aspectos interessantes. EÌ possiÌvel ver claramente como BeÌbio ItaÌlico entendia a IliÌada de Homero, atraveÌs das passagens e aspectos que ele escolhe transmitir, aleÌm do que se pode compreender atraveÌs de suas omissoÌes e inovaçoÌes em relaçaÌo ao texto homeÌrico original.
