Full-time form

1. Knowledge: understanding of the theoretical foundations of literary studies acquired through the course Introduction to Literary Studies (first semester), as well as knowledge of Ancient Greek mythology at the level of the secondary school curriculum. 2. Skills: ability to perform basic literary analysis of texts and to distinguish between literary periods, movements, styles, and phenomena.

The course Ancient Literature is a semester-based discipline worth 2 ECTS credits and consists of two parts: Part 1 – Ancient Greek Literature and Part 2 – Ancient Roman Literature. Part 1 focuses on the general trends in the development of ancient Greek mythology and literature, highlighting the differences between Greek and Roman cultural and literary discourses, and provides an overview of the main literary genres of Ancient Greece, including epic, lyric, and drama. Part 2 is aimed at analyzing the re-actualization of classical literary patterns and intertexts of ancient Greek literature within the Roman literary process, as well as studying its key literary phenomena and major authors.

The course integrates lectures and practical forms of instruction. It includes lectures with elements of problem-based teaching, as well as practical and seminar sessions focused on the analysis of literary texts and discussion of literary theories. Independent study plays a significant role (reading, note-taking, analytical tasks), along with individual projects (essays, presentations). Consultations and modular assessment are also provided. Teaching methods include the explanatory-illustrative and problem-based approaches, textual analysis (structural and stylistic), discussion-based learning, case studies, and a project-based approach. Interactive formats (group work, debates, brainstorming) and digital resources are widely used. The course fosters the development of critical thinking, analytical skills, and an understanding of literature as an art form.

Assessment is carried out throughout the semester in accordance with the types of tasks and forms of control specified in Section 7.1. The final credit is awarded based on the student’s overall performance during the semester and does not involve additional assessment procedures. Students who achieve the minimum passing score of 60 points receive a “pass,” while those who score below 60 receive a “fail.” Students who do not reach the required minimum must complete the outstanding topics by taking a comprehensive written test of increased difficulty.
