20703156 - GREEK LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE I

6 The student will acquire a systematic knowledge of the history of literature, of the thematic nodes faced by the authors in the different periods, of its articulation in literary genres, seen against the background of economic and political evolution, as well as the progressive transformations related to communication techniques. In particular, it will come into contact with the archaic epic which, among the most ancient literary attestations, documents a very important transition from a phase of integral orality to a mixture of orality and writing.
