Resumo: | This article will seek to identify the political characteristics of the Athenian hero Theseus in Bacchylides' dithyrambs 17 and 18 and in Euripides' Suppliant Women. I will argue that elements of Athenian democracy can be traceable in these poems by two main aspects of the hero: his bellicosity and his benevolence towards the weak. These two attributes shall be the fundamental principles to shape a democratic Theseus, such as will be seen mainly through the above cited Euripides' play. I will show that Bacchylides' dithyrambs 17 and 18, by their turn, can be located in the beginning of a particular poetic tradition related to Theseus that settle its basis along with the Athenian democracy. |

The fabrication of Theseus' democratic identity: a comparative analysis between Bacchylides' dithyrambs 17 and 18 and Euripides' The Suppliant WomenA construção de uma identidade democrática para Teseu: uma comparação entre Baquílides (ditirambos 17 e 18) e Eurípides (As Suplicantes).Classical StudiesEuripides; Bacchylides; The Suppliant Women; Dithyramb; DemocracyLetras ClássicasEurípides; Baquílides; As Suplicantes; Ditirambo; DemocraciaThis article will seek to identify the political characteristics of the Athenian hero Theseus in Bacchylides' dithyrambs 17 and 18 and in Euripides' Suppliant Women.

Argumentarei que a democracia ateniense será evocada nesses poemas por meio de dois aspectos principais do herói: a belicosidade e a benevolência. Esses dois atributos serão a base para se construir um Teseu democrático, como se evidenciará principalmente a partir da peça de Eurípides em questão. Constatar-se-á que os citados ditirambos de Baquílides, por sua vez, estarão nos primórdios de uma tradição poética ligada a Teseu que se estabeleceria juntamente com o regime democrático de Atenas.Proaera-UFRJCapesde Sousa Junior, Waldir Moreira2017-12-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ufrj.br/index.php/CODEX/article/view/1250110.25187/codex.v5i2.12501CODEX -- Revista de Estudos Clássicos; v. 5, n. 2 (2017); 49-70CODEX - Revista de Estudos Clássicos; v. 5, n. 2 (2017); 49-702176-177910.25187/codex.v5i2reponame:Codex : Revista de Estudos Clássicosinstname:Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ)instacron:UFRJporhttps://revistas.ufrj.br/index.php/CODEX/article/view/12501/9858/*ref*/BRANIGAN, K. “Minoan Colonialism”.
