Università Roma Tre

The "Greek Literature I LM" course is intended for students who wish to combine the deepening of their knowledge of ancient Greek with the acquisition of valid critical tools for the interpretation of literary texts. The course comprises:
(A) a series of lectures aimed at illustrating the hermeneutic perspectives of the most recent criticism in its various articulations;
(B) the reading, translation and classroom commentary of a selection of texts from Callimachus' Aetia.
Course attendance is optional. Attending students must guarantee attendance at least two-thirds of the lessons (27 out of 40 hours). There is a reduced syllabus for attending students (see section C in Bibliography).

(A) an essential bibliography will be indicated by the lecturer at the beginning of the course; (B) a translation of Callimachus' Aetia with the Greek text is required, e.g. G. B. D'Alessio, Callimachus (BUR: Milan 1996); (C) M. Fantuzzi - R. L. Hunter, Tradition and Innovation in Hellenistic Poetry (CUP: Cambridge 2004). Attending students are not required to prepare for this volume.
