Document Actions
Literature and Culture in the Ancient Mediterranean: Greece, Rome, and the Near East
The program is offered by the School for Advanced Studies in Venice (SSAV), with the support of the Fondazione di Venezia, and is organized by Professors Ettore Cingano and Lucio Milano of the Università Ca’ Foscari di Venezia.
The project of the seminar, which is conceived as a two-year commitment and takes place at Venice International University, aims to study the birth, development and classification of literary genres (e.g. epic poetry and wisdom literature) and other themes common to Greek, Latin and Middle-Eastern civilizations, involving cultural aspects such as their transmission and preservation in both oral and written forms; the organization of the libraries; the relationship between literature and politic.
