None. The knowledge of Greek language is not requested.
Lectures. Lectures will be integrated by visits to museums and exhibitions, theatre shows, and conferences held by external experts.
Oral exam. Those who pass the written test do not need to present the Greek literature handbook, but only the texts, that are the objects of the course and indicated in the programme. Students are requested to know the texts in the programme and read in class (for attending students; for non-attending students there will be alternative texts). Students are also requested to know the Introductions and commentaries to the recommended editions. Marks are in thirties.
The module represents the second part of the course of “Texts and images from Classical Antiquity to Modernity” and analyses the artistic and visual dimension of the topics analysed in the first module under the literary point of view.
We will examine the reception of mythical figures in figurative arts, following the development of the main forms of Greek art: sculpture, painting and architecture. We will also further investigate the visual and performative dimension of Greek theatre tradition, with particular attention to the reception of Ancient drama in contemporary literature and theatre.
For non-attending students some additional texts will be included in the exam program, as a substitute for the lessons. All students are requested to check regularly the e-learning site of the course and to download materials. Erasmus students and PDP/PEI students must contact the teacher at the beginning of the course.
