Period
CuCi IIA dal Feb 15, 2021 al Apr 1, 2021.
Learning outcomes
The course offers a comprehensive insight of the metres and the rhythms of the Greek poetic tradition, with specific attention to: (a) the relation existing between metrics and textual interpretation; (b) the literary analysis of the texts. The course focuses on: - Prosody - Greek lyric metre - The textual transmission of poetry and its philological and exegetical tradition - The ancient sources on metrics - Ancient Greek music and rhythms. Students will become familiar with the specific vocabulary of the discipline, and will apply it to the textual and metrical analysis. They will also be able to recognize the main poetical forms, considered under a critical perspective and placed within the frame of the history of the discipline on a case-by-case basis (with special reference to companions, monographs, essays, and lexica focused on the topic). Knowledge of Greek language is mandatory.
Program
The course aims at illustrating the fundamental theoretical principles of the disciplines of ancient Greek metrics and rhythmics as well as their relationship with musical performance, in order to provide useful tools for the reading and interpretation of Greek poetic texts.
Main topics will be:
- The basic notions of metrics and rhythms (meter, rhythm and speech; prosody and strophic structures; recited and lyric verses; meters/rhythms and poetic genres).
- Theoretical frameworks: birth and development of metric science (derivationist system vs. metra prototypa) and rhythmic science (Aristoxenus), production of ancient scholarship related to these topics.
- From theory to practice: meter and rhythm in ancient Greek musical documents.
- Case-studies: meters and rhythms on ancient drama (reading, analysis and comment of selected passages).
