Greek Language Ma

The course aims for the acquisition of in-depth, autonomous analysis skills of Ancient Greek texts, particularly both from a linguistic and stylistic point of view. A seminar might be added to the course. Particular attention will be paid to their originality, their historical and poetic or prosaic context and to the theory of literary genres.

Students are expected to acquire a thorough knowledge of Ancient Greek, its historical developments as well as its dialectal peculiarities, building upon the knowledge acquired during the B.A. program and referring to up-to-date scholarly literature. Students are expected to develop autonomous research skills as a preparatory work to the M.A. thesis. Linguistic fluency and knowledge of the vocabulary of the discipline are a prerequisite.
