This volume collects contributions about Brazilian reception of Greek myths, the more relevant in literary and performative perspective: Antigone, Medea, the Trojan cycle, and Alcestis. With great names of Brazilian literature - as Jorge Andrade and Nelson Rodrigues -, you will find others not so well known, but very influential in this specific area of classical reception and well accepted by modern audiences. The collection of these materials is innovative and only possible with the collaboration of two Brazilian teams, one under the coordination of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, and the other of the Federal University of Minas Gerais (Belo Horizonte), two prestigious universities in the country for Classical and Reception Studies.
