| Summary: | This work is part of my project of translating Ausonius’ poems. These are the first translations into Portuguese of the work Genethliacos by Decimius Magnus Ausonius (4th century), which were made from the Latin critical edition fixed by the Latinist philologist Roger Green (1991). Dedicated to the birthday of his grandson, this composition has 28 verses, which have been translated in two ways. Academic translation emphasizes Latin syntax and cases, facilitating access to text content. Then, a poetic translation proposal was made, which consists of the first news to emulate its hexameter verses. Finally, the poetic translation was based on the Carlos Alberto Nunes’ model, which was analyzed by João Angelo Oliva Neto (2016; 2014) and Everton Natividade (2013). This is believed to be the first translation to emulate the Genethliacos’ hexameter verses. |
