Annotation

The literary legacy of Ancient Greece in its different cultural contexts, the methodology and language skills necessary for formulating and conveying this legacy and an insight into its subsequent reception form the key course content of the subject. Words, images, motifs, ideas and systems of Greek literature are part of everyday discourse and basic knowledge. The study of Greek Philology deepens and broadens this knowledge, provides a cultural and historical foundation and teaches the ability to convey it appropriately and competently.

Greek Philology can be studied as part of the degree courses in History and Cultural Studies (GuK) and Language, Literature, Culture (SLK) at the Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen.
