This curricular unit has as main objective to make known to the students the fundamental questions related to the non-dramatic Greek poetry of the archaic and Hellenistic times. The genres addressed will be the monodic and choral lyric, the elegia, the idyll, the hymn and the epigram, in the various forms they assumed and considered from a diachronic point of view.
At the end of the course unit the learner is expected to be able to: - Know the genre:
-know the outlines of the transmission of Greek poetry;
-identify the main themes and genres cultivated by the Greek poets of the archaic and Hellenistic times;
-be able to proceed, autonomously, to the formal, stylistic and content analysis of selected steps of the Greek archaic and Hellenistic poetry.
