| Abstract | |
The research analyzes the construction of Hannibal\'s êthos in the works of Cornelius Nepos and Livy, considering rhetorical strategies. The first part is a study of ancient historiographical genre, and its relation to Rhetoric, and also of the concepts of êthos, ékphrasis and enárgeia. Then, we reflect about the discursive strategies used by Livy to compose a character convenient to his historiographical project. In the second part, we discuss the boundaries between bíos and history and analyze the êthos of Hannibal built by Cornelius Nepos, what also allows us to discuss the differences between these genres and other general issues of Nepos\' lives.
