GREEK LITERATURE AND CULTURE COURSE

Course description

Alexandria Institute offers courses in Greek literature and culture aimed at participants from level B1 upwards that would like to get acquainted with the most representative figures of Modern Greek literature and culture. To this end, we have compiled an assortment of historically and culturally contextualized texts and artistic works so as to prompt observation and discussion. The course deals with the principal literary periods, the historical background as well as the most representative Greek literature figures and works. Students are given the opportunity to delve deeper into Greek language and culture by way of linguistically processing the texts and commenting on them.
The curriculum can be arranged in a way that suits the students’ needs and preferences. For instance, priority can be given to the works of one writer, one specific book, or a certain literary era or genre, e.g. poetry, short stories or novels.
Students particularly keen on literature, arts, history and traditions, who wish to either familiarize themselves with Greek culture or explore it more exhaustively, will certainly find this specific course ideal.
