Learning Objectives
The course aims to provide students with the notions and methodology which are necessary in order to acquire the ability to critically analyse the ancient sources from which it is possible to derive the historical reality of the political, social and economic transformations that have marked the diachronic evolution of ancient Greek history, from the Archaic to the Hellenistic age. The methodology used during the course consists in reading and discussing the most significant sources, coupled with an appropriate reflection on the comparison of the data offered by different types of evidence. The final objective of the course is to achieve the ability to critically analyse literary, epigraphic and archaeological sources for the purpose of historical investigation.
Program
We will examine the most significative moments in the diachronic development of Greek history. Starting from the preceding Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations, which indelibly marked subsequent developments, the course will focus on the archaic and classical ages. A lower chronological limit of the discipline is placed at the end of the Hellenistic period, specifically with the advent of Augustus after the battle of Actium in 31 BCE. Particular attention will be paid to aspects of the political-ideological debate in Athens between the 5th and 4th centuries BCE, as well as to the demes of Attica, i.e. the political-territorial units connected to the reorganization of the Athenian city-state which was carried out by the statesman Cleisthenes in 508/7 BCE.
