Ancient Landscapes / Modern Voices: An Introduction to Modern Greek Literature
Lecturer Christina Bogdanou

While visiting the ancient paths of Greece from Delphi to Epidauros and Olympia, to the modern metropolis of Athens, the landscapes of Greece reveal their eternal stories in literary texts. The students will discover a landscape of Greek myths, yet, a world in search of a modern national and cultural identity, separate from ideological constructions of the past.
