In On the Sublime, [Longinus] explains that the pursuit of textual excellence depends on an author's attitude towards his superior peers from the past. This article builds on the examples with Ajax in that treatise to explore how Sophocles deals with the literary tradition, above all Homer, in the construction of the discursive performances of his protagonist in Ajax, a tragedy that is fundamentally agonistic not only because its starting point is the dispute between two heroes over the weapons of a third, but above all because the receiving audience is invited to engage vividly with the literary tradition thanks to the tragedy's plot and Ajax's poetic performance.
The Parthenon, and The Peloponnesian War, by Thucydides, were created in the second half of the V century BC. Its authors have used some trickery to make their excellent work appear perfect. That is, they have resorted to the plausible (tau epsilon i kappa & varsigma;), passing it off as the true (tau lambda eta theta & varsigma;). They do not comply with Walter Gropius' principle - form follows function -, because they are influenced by Sophistry.
We aim, in this article, to deal with the concepts about the soul that Plato presents in his dialogues. By making analogies between the soul and the polis, Plato introduces a method of anthropological and political study that aims to answer questions such as: (1) is the soul mortal or immortal?; (2) single or multiple?; (3) does its happiness consist of what? Since the soul has, at least in Book 4 of the Respublica, a structure linked to the polis structure, it is relevant for our study to investigate the relationships between virtue in the soul and virtue in the polis. In addition to dialogues that bring a predominance of evidence that corroborates the hypothesis of the division of the soul, as it is the case ofRespublica, Phaedrus and Timaeus, we will approach other dialogues that tend, predominantly, to the opposite opinion, that is, the one according to which the soul would be one, as it is the case of Meno, Protagoras and Phaedo dialogues.
The text presents and discusses the results of the research that resulted in the final paper of the author's bachelor's degree in History, which was in the field of Digital Humanities. His proposition dealt with the performance of the historian in virtual space, because it manifested itself as a work of elaboration of digital three-dimensional models of Greek culture archaeological artifacts, its publication on online platforms, along with the active online dissemination for the construction of historical knowledge, as well as the elaboration of paradidatic material for the use of models in the teaching of History in educational spaces. These resources were developed with the aim of assisting researchers in studies on Greek ceramics, as well as democratizing their access, both in educational environments and in external spaces.
