Abstract

This work has the proposal to study the classical Greece and the mythology presented in Monteiro Lobato\'s works (1892-1948), searching to verify how the references to the Hellenic world impose itself in several moments of his literary production (adult and young), journalistic and memorialistic. With the objective of detecting bibliography sources of the author, the research recovers book titles of his private library, nowadays fragmented, as the mentions of the works focusing the Helade in her correspondence and in other documents. Putting in question the literary processes of creation, this paper approaches the intertextual relations between the works of Lobato and the titles of the historian Will Durant (1885-1981) and the educator Virgil Hillyer (1875-1931), both North-Americans. It also explores the epistolary dialog of the creator of Urupês with the Maranhense writer Coelho Neto (1864-1934), recognized as the cultivator of the Hellenic theme. This paper presents \"Seleta\" of pieces of Monteiro Lobato\'s works that focuses in historical, linguistic and cultural aspects of the Greek world, in order to contribute to the expansion of the debate we raise here.
