Temas clássicos em Cândido Lusitano

Abstract

This paper discusses the reception and the principles that underlie the translation of the Sophocles' and Seneca's Oedipus Rex and of Euripides' and Seneca's Medea made by Cândido Lusitano, who are still handwritten. In this sense, we will give special attention to the introductory notes which preface the works listed and will try to discuss the provided on translations and discuss their suitability to the normative elements of the neoclassical aesthetic.
