Abstract Whether he was an author of great influence until the eighteenth century, from the nineteenth, the work of Xenophon from Athens has had little interest of the literary critic, they are used and analyzed more as a collection of information about the Ancient Greece than by its literary quality. The absence of translations of the author's narratives is a good example of the lack of attention that the work receives modernly, although in these pieces Xenophon shows his literary potential, for his hybrid writing, mixing genres and styles. Among these pieces, it is possible to highlight the Hellenika in which Xenophon proposes a continuation of Thucydides when writing the history of Greece from the point he left unfinished in reason of his death. Although it is, among Xenophon's work, the one which is most closer of the historiographic genre, the author's hybrid writing is also present. Thus, our research proposal is to present the first complete translation of this work in Portuguese, with explanation notes, not only to make this classic author accessible to the Portuguese language reader, but also to create in Portuguese a translation that seek to rebuild the style and diction of Xenophon as a writer. | |
