Resumen

Resumo

O presente artigo visa analisar o modo pelo qual o livro de 2 Macabeus apresenta os heróis de seu relato da Revolta dos Macabeus. Apesar de ser uma obra inserida dentro da tradição judaica, fazendo parte inclusive da Septuaginta

–a primeira tradução grega do conjunto de livros sagrados judaicos–, trata- se de um livro que, para além de ter sido escrito originalmente em grego, também carrega dentro de si elementos próprios da cultura helenística. Tais elementos são, no entanto, adaptados à realidade judaica e à ideologia de oposição ao helenismo construída pelo autor de 2 Macabeus, resultando em uma apresentação de heróis que, apesar de terem características próprias dos heróis helenísticos, se diferenciam destes assumindo aspectos próprios da construção da identidade judaica proposta em 2 Macabeus. A fim de destacar esta influência helenística e a particularidade dos heróis de 2 Macabeus, o presente trabalho analisa os principais termos associados ao heroísmo dos personagens do livro, com especial destaque para o uso do adjetivo grego γενναῖος.

 

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the way in which the book of 2 Maccabees presents the heroes of his account about the Revolt of Maccabees. Although it is a work within the Jewish tradition, included in the Septuagint −the first Greek translation of the set of sacred Jewish books−, it is a book that, in addition to being originally written in Greek, also carries within of itself elements of the Hellenistic culture. These elements are, however, adapted to the Jewish reality and to the ideology of opposition to the Hellenism constructed by the author of 2 Maccabees, resulting in a presentation of heroes who, although having characteristics of the Hellenistic heroes, also differ from these assuming aspects proper to the construction of the Jewish identity proposed in 2 Maccabees. In order to emphasize this Hellenistic influence and the particularity of the heroes of 2 Maccabees, the present paper analyzes the main terms associated with the heroism of the characters of the book, with special emphasis on the use of the Greek adjective γενναῖος.
