Learning objectives
The course of Greek Philology aims to foster a philological approach to the texts of ancient Greek literature through (a) the study of their formal structures as related to different literary genres and interactions thereof, (b) ancient exegesis, and (c) the manuscript transmission of texts, so that students can develop in-depth critical and interpretive awareness. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to critically rework the knowledge they gained, and to explain the results achieved in an appropriate linguistic and argumentative form.
Prerequisites and basic notions
College-level knowledge of ancient Greek is required.
Program
DEMOSTHENES AND THE ANCIENT SCHOOL: READING THE ORATION ‘ON THE CROWN’ IN THE LIGHT OF ANCIENT COMMENTATORS.
The course will analyze in parallel the history of the corpus of Demosthenes’ orations and that of his commentators; in particular, it will propose a reading of the oration ‘On the Crown’, the Athenian orator’s masterpiece, from the point of view of the scholiasts who commented on it for the teaching of rhetoric until the late ancient age. The research will also consider the lexicons into which Demosthenic exegesis flowed (e.g., papyrus fragments, the ‘Lexicon of the Ten Orators’ of Harpocration, the medieval lexicon of Patmos), but will not forego the use of works devoted to the greatest orator of the classical age, e.g., the treatises of Dionysius of Halicarnassus and the rhetoric manuals of Hermogenes.
The critical reference text will be that of M. R. Dilts (vols. I-IV, Oxford 2002-2009; the oration ‘On the Crown’ can be found in vol. I): this and other useful material will be provided directly by the lecturer via the Moodle platform.
The purchase of an annotated edition of the oration ‘On the Crown’ with facing translation is recommended (e.g., the BUR edited by Laura Bartolini: https://bur.rizzolilibri.it/libri/per-la-corona-contro-ctesifonte/).
Bibliography

Linguistic training CLA
Double Degree
The University of Verona, through a network of agreements with foreign universities, offers international courses that enable students to gain a Double/Joint degree at the time of graduation. Indeed, students enrolled in a Double/Joint degree programme will be able to obtain both the degree of the University of Verona and the degree issued by the Partner University abroad - where they are expected to attend part of the programme -, in the time it normally takes to gain a common Master’s degree. The institutions concerned shall ensure that both degrees are recognised in the two countries.
Places on these programmes are limited, and admissions and any applicable grants are subject to applicants being selected in a specific Call for applications.
The latest Call for applications for Double/Joint Degrees at the University of Verona is available now!
