The analysis adopts a pragmatic approach to discourse (Austin, 1990; Maingueneau, 2006; Rajagopalan, 2010) and an interdisciplinary perspective, investigating how the work functions not only as a technical manual of stylistic variation but also as a pedagogical manual that reworks the classical legacy amid the cultural, religious, and educational transformations of the sixteenth century, grounded in practices of imitatio and aemulatio. Starting from the assumption that language does not merely describe the world but actively transforms it, this study seeks to present the Erasmian treatise as a performative didactic practice, in which rhetorical precepts are articulated with strategies that engage the co-enunciator through the very exercise of language. In this way, De copia is understood as an instrument of ethical action, discernment, and moral responsibility, using language to guide the subject and to enable critical intervention in the world. The interdisciplinary approach brings together applied linguistics, Latin studies, Renaissance studies, rhetorical studies, education, and historiography, highlighting the relevance of contemporary approaches for the interpretation of humanist texts.

Each verse of the papyrus fragment features, in the upper part, the notation of the vocal musical notes, and in the lower half, the Greek text with the notes for the instruments, in alphabetical notation. The verses and the notes are analyzed with the aim of suggesting a possible reconstruction of the first Stasimon. The dialogue between the reconstructed text and ancient music is triggered, from a theoretical point of view, mainly by the concepts of Donald J. Grout, Claude Palisca, Stefan Hagel, Aires Manuel Rodeia dos Reis Pereira, Théodore Reinach, and Martin L. West, in order to understand the type of the musical regarding the fragment of the tragedy in question.

However, the reverse path – that is, the analysis of possible points of convergence between Latin literature and Greek narrative – remains in an early stage. This dissertation aims to investigate the presence of themes and techniques from Roman elegiac poetry, especially from Propertius, in the Greek novel Callirhoe by Chariton of Aphrodisia. The study focuses on how the erotic disposition of the characters is constructed and which elegiac elements appear to shape the narrative structure of the novel. The analysis is grounded in the proposals of Jolowicz (2021) regarding the dialogue between Roman literature and the Greek novel, and it explores such relations through the lens of transtextuality. The study seeks to contribute to the ongoing discussions on the interactions between genres and literary traditions in Antiquity.

In this regard, considering that the Carmen Saeculare was composed by Horace at the request of Emperor Augustus to serve as the public hymn of the Ludi Saeculares in 17 B.C., this dissertation aims to analyze how the values of the mos maiorum are articulated in the poem, recalling the figure of the mythical founding hero of Rome, Aeneas, and highlighting the paradigmatic relationship between the emperor and the Trojan hero. To achieve this goal, the research draws on Cultural Semantics (CS), which makes it possible to understand how the cultural memory and symbolic dimension of the text were manifested during the festivities, revealing the meanings socioculturally constructed, underlying the celebration and the reinforcement of Roman moral and political order. Furthermore, the work engages with the perspective of the Bakhtin’s Circle, which postulates that the meanings of literary texts emerge from the interaction among social and historical voices, thus allowing the poem to be interpreted as a place of negotiation of meanings and legitimation of cultural values. By the end of the study, it is evident that the Carmen Saeculare, by uniting myth, ritual, cultural memory, and literary culture, perpetuates ancestral virtues, reinforces imperial authority, and demonstrates how Roman literature articulated tradition, politics, and culture.
