The Apocolocyntosis and De clementia are Seneca's two works composed at the beginning of Nero's principate. Both present special problems concerning their composition and transmission, but also their structure, literary genre and destination. The course aims to address all these issues, so as to provide a general framework of these two interesting works, before moving on to a detailed reading of them, dwelling mainly on philological and exegetical problems.
Obiettivi formativi
The educational goals of the course are: development of critical awareness about methods and instruments of Latin philology and their practical use; development of the critical capacity to present and discuss research contributions in the field of Latin philology; development of the capacity to present in an effective way the state of the art of a critical problem inherent to Latin philology, and to expose the results of one's research with precision and clarity, both in written and oral form.
