Prerequisites
Specialized Course:
The course is aimed at third year students, but students of LM can attend it also.

The requirements are the ability to read and understand the two texts in the original language (in translation, for attendees of Greek literary culture only); the knowledge of the general and historical backgrounds of the Ellenistic and Imperial literature in Greek language

Other students with non-philological curricula are allowed to follow the course on the translations of the original texts: in this case, the course will be considered equivalent to Ellenistic and Imperial Literature (L-FIL-LET 02, 6 CFU).
Learning outcomes
Through the analysis and the comment of the texts and of selected bibliography, two recurring and characterising features of imperial production will be made apparent: 1) the relationship with the classics between history and legend; 2) the dynamics of syncretism and hybridisation, first emphasised by J. G. Droysen.
