"Cupido Cruciatus" de Ausônio: tradução em prosa, tradução em hexâmetros datílicos, estudo e notas

Abstract

The scope of the research is the translation and study of the work "Cupido cruciatus" by Decimus Magnus Ausonius, a 4th century poet from Bordeaux, ancient Gaul. In this sense, from the translation of this poem in which the intention of “transposing the visualized painting into verses” is verbalized, the intersemiotic element is analyzed as part of the poet's creative project, discussing the relationship between poetry and "aemulae artes" (painting and sculpture). Works from different periods of Ausonian poetic creation – "Epigrammata", "Bissula" and "Epitaphia" – are also analyzed, with the aim of recovering the intersemiotic elements present in the author's poetic work. For the translation work of the poem "Cupido cruciatus", the Latin text The Works of Ausonius, edited by Roger Green (1991; 1999), was used as a reference edition; and the English translations by Hugh Evelyn-White (1919) and Deborah Warren (2017), the Italian translations by Alessandro Franzoi (2002), Luca Canali (2011) and Agostino Pastorino (2013 [1971]), the Spanish translations of Antonio Alvar Ezquerra (1990) and the Portuguese one by Reina Marisol Troca Pereira (2015, in prose), which offer their private readings of the lessons taken by the editor. In addition to the present work offering two translations into Portuguese, one of which is new in verse, the thesis concludes that the intersemiotic element, strongly marked in "Cupido cruciatus", leaks into other Ausonian works, as one of the author's main topics.
