Resumo: | The comparisons form a separate set in Plutarch's biographical narrative: since we already know the end of their lives, the criticism of his characters' actions becomes more incisive. However, the comparison (σύγκρισις/sýnkrisis) established by Plutarch serves not only to compare the deeds of those who are his biography objects: the sense of "combination" that the word “comparison” has allows the Greek author to compose parallels that combine characters from different contexts, but with performances that are similar in the political field. The Plutarch’s parallels bring us information and thoughts not always exposed in the biographies of his characters. Therefore, it is important to analyze the comparison between Demosthenes and Cicero, as a case study, to understand its structure and the choices made by Plutarch in the weaving of his narrative. It is also valuable to understand the complexity of his parallels, which were not chosen randomly, all which dialogue with each other on several levels, and are therefore subject to multiple levels of comparison with each other. In this paper, our purpose is to discuss the nature of the Plutarch’s comparisons between Demosthenes and Cicero, observing manifest elements in this composition. |

No entanto, a comparação (σύγκρισις/sýnkrisis) estabelecida por Plutarco não coteja somente os feitos de seus biografados; o sentido de “combinação” que a palavra tem lhe permite compor paralelos que combinem personagens de contextos distintos, mas com atuações que se assemelham no campo político. Os paralelos plutarquianos nos trazem informações e reflexões nem sempre expostas nas biografias de suas personagens. Por isso, é importante analisar a comparação de Demóstenes e Cícero, como um estudo de caso, para compreender sua estrutura e as escolhas feitas por Plutarco na tessitura de sua narrativa. Desse modo, é necessário entender a complexidade de seus paralelos, que não foram escolhidos aleatoriamente, todos dialogam entre si em diversos planos, portanto, passíveis de múltiplos níveis de comparações entre si. Nosso propósito é discorrer sobre a natureza das comparações plutarquianas de Demóstenes e Cícero neste artigo a partir de elementos manifestos nessa composição.Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora2022-10-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/ronai/article/view/3844110.34019/2318-3446.2022.38441Rónai – Revista de Estudos Clássicos e Tradutórios; 2022: Special issue: Vitae: constructions around biography in Antiquity and its reception; 60-77Rónai – Revista de Estudos Clássicos e Tradutórios; 2022: Edição especial: Vitae: construções em torno da ideia de biografia na Antiguidade e sua recepção; 60-772318-3446reponame:Rónaiinstname:Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF)instacron:UFJFporhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/ronai/article/view/38441/25147Copyright (c) 2022 Maria Aparecida de Oliveira Silvahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Silva, Maria Aparecida de Oliveira2022-12-06T14:54:12Zoai:periodicos.ufjf.br:article/38441Revistahttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/ronaiPUBhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/ronai/oairevistaronai@gmail.comhttps://doi.org/10.34019/2318-34462318-34462318-3446opendoar:2024-05-03T12:01:09.877125Rónai - Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF)true |
