Abstract

The following dissertation proposes a translation to Brazilian Portuguese of a part of Persica, by the greek author Ctesias of Cnidus. From its fragments, the ones present in Diodorus of Sicily and Photius of Constantinople were chosen, works which together present an overview of the original, and also constitute two different forms of rewriting the very same material. A recap of the studies on Ctesias is also presented, emphasizing the relationship between the author and the transmitters of his work, a framework that is also present in the translated text. (AU)
