Learning objectives

The course aims to provide Students with an adequate understanding of the literary institutions of ancient Greece, analyzed in terms both of their history and their structures and placed within the major framework of European cultural tradition. Students will be guided in reading ancient Greek texts – or selections thereof – in the original language. The course will focus on, but will not be limited to, texts from the Archaic and Classical periods. At the end of the course Students will - know the main textual typologies of Greek Literature; - have an adequate knowledge of the history, development, and authors of Greek Literature up to the classical period; - be able to place, in terms both of chronology and literary history, metre, and language, the texts under scrutiny; - be able to introduce and explain in their own words and with appropriate language the texts that the course focuses on; - be able to translate and comment upon both the texts analyzed in class and others forming part of the programme.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Good knowledge of ancient Greek is required.

Program

THE LAST HEROIN? READING SOPHOCLES' 'ANTIGONE'.
(1) 'Antigone' has had a seminal influence on a wide range of theatrical, literary, and philosophical traditions. This drama is no simple study in the excesses of tyranny or the virtues of heroic resistance, but a more nuanced exploration of conflicting views of right and wrong and of the conditions that constrain human beings' efforts to control their destinies and secure their happiness. We will go into the reading of this complex work on the basis of the critical edition by H. Lloyd-Jones and N. Wilson (OCT series, Oxford 1990).
(2) Students will independently prepare (a) translation and grammatical commentary of Iliad 22 on the Teubner text by Martin L. West (München-Leipzig 2000). For this purpose they can may make use of any commercially available annotated edition; (b) Greek literary history from the Archaic age to the 4th s. B.C.
NB: The text of critical editions and other bibliography will be provided directly by the lecturer via the Moodle platform.
