(syllabus)
1. Monographic topic. The comparison between word and image from lyric to rhetoric and literary criticism
The course will analyze the pages in which the comparison between word and image is developed, in relation to the wide development that the comparison will have in the whole European culture both in the literary and figurative fields. The anlysis will start from Pindar and choral lyric and will reach the rhetoric of the fourth century, with Alcidamante and Isocrates, Plato and Aristotle: here the comparison takes on an even greater complexity, based on the refined analysis of the different technical aspects. Literary criticism draws from this tradition, from Dionysius of Halicarnassus to Plutarch.
2. General part. Authors and literary genres from Homer to the Hellenistic age and to Plutarch.
For non-attending students: - reading at least two texts of your choice, one in poetry, one in prose, within the context of the Greek literary tradition - a short critical essay on the texts chosen for the exam - a handbook of Greek literature Texts to be read, critical essay and manual are to be agreed through an interview during the reception hours at least one month before the exam.
