Learning Objectives

The course aims to supply students with the basics and method necessary for acquisition of the skills of analysis and reflection on the tradition concerning the complex doings of a personality who occupied the Athenian political and military stage during the difficult socio-political and economic situation subsequent to the Periclean experience. The fundamental aim is to focus on dynamics, contradictions and reference contexts, also in relation to the general problem of the incidence of individual attention-seeking in the eventful plot of the history of all times, and to possess adequate communicative resources on the theme in question.
The teaching contributes to achievement of the learning objectives of the Degree course in Philology, linguistics and literary traditions, aiming to consolidate and broaden the knowledge and philological methodologies acquired over the three years, with view to either proceeding towards a research Doctorate or finding work with publishing houses, public/private research and cultural institutes or cultural and academic foundations.
