Abstract

The paper starts by discussing the renewal of classics, in the context of postmodernity. It turns then to the issues relating the use of literature for the historical study of the ancient world. As a case study, the paper reproduces the story of the Matron of Ephesus, its translation into Portuguese, followed by a study of the vocabulary. The paper concludes by stressing how identities were fluid and rife with conflict.
