RESUMO
This research presents a study followed by a translation of Rhesus, a tragedy traditionally attributed to Euripides. In the study, we aim at comparing the treatment the play gives to Rhesuss myth and the theme of cunning intelligence (mêtis) with that presented by Iliad X. Taking Odysseus as the central figure, we make an approach (through similitude and dissimilitude) of the other characters of the play, as well as of the view concerning mêtis that each of them expresses in the action, the structure of the play and the relationship between men and gods. Our main purpose is to show that both texts are well inserted in their respective periods and illustrate some change in the status of the concept of mêtis.
