Università Roma Tre

The aim of the course is the acquisition of knowledge of Greek literature, considered in its historical development, in its articulation in literary genres, against the background of economic and political evolution as well as in relation to the progressive transformations of the communication system; furthermore, through the study and translation of a short text or a limited anthological selection of various texts in the original language, students will be able to acquire hermeneutical skills, especially from a linguistic point of view, but also fundamental historical-literary notions.
The course aims to provide basic knowledge and historical-literary skills in the field of Greek language and literature by addressing the literary history from the Archaic to the Hellenistic age and laying the foundations for the critical study of authors and works with particular attention to the linguistic and exegetical dimension. The course prepares students to apply the knowledge acquired competently and to express it clearly and correctly, also in view of any subsequent studies.
