Resumo: This paper aims to demonstrate how Hiero of Syracuse is celebrated through Bacchylides’ choice of words in his Ode 5. Despite the ode’s remarkable obscurity regarding its myth and the pessimism of its gnṓmē, it is possible to notice the echoes of prosperity, vitality, and festivity that follow the moment of the ode’s performance and its main feature: the encomium. From the use of unconventional epithets, mostly chromatic ones, or epithets that imply amplitude and movement, we can grasp how the poet explores the limits of the human condition, from the peaks of fortune to the abysses of ruin.

Apesar da notável obscuridade da ode em virtude da narrativa mítica e do pessimismo da gnṓmē, é possível notar os ecos da prosperidade, da vitalidade e da festividade que acompanham o momento da performance da canção e sua função primordial: o encômio. Valendo-se de epítetos originais, muitas vezes cromáticos, ou que denotem constantemente amplitude e movimento, observamos como o poeta transita nos limites da condição humana, retratando o auge da prosperidade para depois revelar os abismos da ruína.Proaera-UFRJCAPESCAPESDemarchi, Isabella2019-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ufrj.br/index.php/CODEX/article/view/2592910.25187/codex.v7i2.25929CODEX -- Revista de Estudos Clássicos; v. 7, n. 2 (2019); 56-68CODEX - Revista de Estudos Clássicos; v. 7, n. 2 (2019); 56-682176-177910.25187/codex.v7i2reponame:Codex : Revista de Estudos Clássicosinstname:Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ)instacron:UFRJporhttps://revistas.ufrj.br/index.php/CODEX/article/view/25929/17846/*ref*/CAIRNS, Douglas L.
