This work analyzes Carlos Magalhães de Azeredo‘s 1904 Odes e elegias, focusing on his transposition of classical meters to Portuguese. Magalhães de Azeredo (1872-1963) was the youngest founder of the Academia Brasileira de Letras (Brazilian Academy), and he emulated, in his book, the verses of Giosuè Carducci‘s Odi barbare, made in what Carducci (1835-1907) called barbarian meters, contrasting with the true classical verse. It is widely known that ancient metrics was quantity-based-which is to say that it was grounded on Greek and Latin phonological and prosodical features alien to Romance languages. Therefore, every attempt to transpose its meters to Portuguese demands some poetic device to make it work. What, in time and space, is understood as classical meter defines the conditions of ancient poetry reception in literary circles; it has an influence, so, in the meanings attributed to the poems‘ formal structure. Odes e elegias, then, is to be analyzed in a way that keep in mind conditions as well as results: not only what was the metrical contract, but why was this contract proposed, what demands this contract, and what is its context. In this way, this work aims to add to an interesting and new field of investigation in Brazil: the studies on classics‘ translation and reception. These studies are conditioning a crescent interest on the history of formal strategies to translate ancient poetry
