Learning outcomes

The course aims at providing students with notions concerning the methodology of historical research, on the one hand, and specific contents on both Greek history in the 5th century BC and the historical memory of the Persian Wars, on the other.

Program

Subject: War, memory and historiography in ancient Greece. Herodotus and the Persian Wars

Contents:
The course will be divided in two parts. First, it will provide students with the most recent theoretical and methodological tools concerning the relationship between memory and history, and in particular the social, cultural, identity-related dynamics connected with the memory of war. Second, it will examine a specific case study, that of the Persian Wars, which are recounted in Herodotus’ Histories but also remembered through different means of memory in Athens and the other Greek poleis. The course will also offer the occasion to discuss on the relationship between war, memory, and identity from a comparative perspective between ancient and modern.

Prerequisites: Knowledge of ancient Greek is not required

Teaching Methods: Frontal teaching, with the chance of attending seminars.
