Content outline

In an introductory course we will look at the Schools of the Theory of Literature, which are suitable for teaching use and then we will focus on the contribution of the mythical method in the teaching of literature. This course is concerned with a proposal for the organization of the literature lesson  at the base of a critical approach to the mythic archetypal theory, depending on the parameters that shape school practice. We will involve New Technologies and we will illustrate their dynamic relationship with the teaching of literature. Our goal is to compare and contrast the two areas: the area of ancient knowledge and the area of new modern knowledge, and to research how the modern Greek text checks its original ancient Greek influence, because, whatever we say the friction between the two has caused new effulgence resulting in a better insight and understanding of both of the worlds which created them.

Knowledge:

  • The goal is that students know that Myth and reason are not counterbalancing. The deviation and adoption of irreconcilable versions of the myth, the poet masterfully poses the question: what is the poetic truth if the boundaries between truth and falsehood, myth and reality are fluid and that this is consistent with the fact that man is a contradictory being and life is built with all its contradictions.
  • Be able to understand that When the poet becomes familiar with the mythical method and that it is not enough to be able to simply link today with antiquity, but that only in the situation where their conversation with the ancient Greek myth shifts onto another deeper level, apart from the external shape of the form.
  • Moreover, that they can distinguish the terms that indicate internal poetic classifications: «taftosimia», «parasimia», «eterosimia», «archaiothema» from «archaiomytha» poems.
