BELTRAMETTI ANNA ALBERTINA (titolare) - 6 ECTS

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 translation
for students with non-philological curricula; the knowledge of the general and
historical backgrounds of the Ellenistic and Imperial literature in Greek language

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.

Programme: The course consists of two parts: the first centred on
Plutarch, Solon,
the second on
Lucian, The Passing of Peregrinus
Selected Bibliography will be discussed during the course

Lectures and seminars

Selected Bibliography will be suggested during the course

Type of Exam: Oral examination and Course general comprehension test: the discussion of some particular
topics, chosen by the students, that will emerge along the course.
Under exceptional circumstances, and upon direct agreement with the lecturer only,
different evaluation methods can be arranged.
