C. We will also analyze figures of women characterized by a non-purely formal closeness to power and object of deminutio in tradition (and in modern critical studies).

The teaching is aimed at providing the basic skills for Greek history through the reading of Greek and Latin historiographical sources, both in view of the possible use in the field of publishing, archiving of institutions and companies, advertising communication, business communication and editorial writing, both in view of the continuation of studies in the master's degrees of humanistic orientation. Knowledge: knowledge of the main dynamics of the political, social and economic history of the classical Greek world and their chronological contexts. Autonomy of judgment: ability to critically and comparatively analyze the contents of the sources and their genesis. Communication skills: clear and comprehensive communication demonstrating versatility in the historical and critical framework.
