Επίγραμμα, μυθιστόρημα, βιογραφία στην ελληνιστική περίοδο

Identifying key features of specific literary genres of the Hellenistic period –epigram, novel, and biography- we will focus on specific passages, in order to research for features of poetry in the Hellenistic epigrams. Then, exploring a scene in the novel Ta kata Leukippēn kai Kleitophōnta, (The Adventures of Leucippe and Clitophon) we will highlight the elements that reflect the relationship of the individual with the wider social changes of his time. Finally, we will show the principles of the biography of Plutarch, as well as the particular virtues or flaws of the specific personality of Pericles.
