The aim of the course is to guide students to a thorough analysis of Modern Greek scholars focusing mainly on samples of original texts in order to develop analyzes, discussions and comments on the messages that each writer wanted to convey through his work, apart from the occasional placements of the well-known literary criticism, which may be taken into account with a view to at least comparison with students' placements and analyzes.

Deliveries will be supported by a selection of photocopied original texts by various authors, the choice of which will be based either on the theoretical and didactic criteria of the lecturer or on comparison with student preferences or other criteria likely to be presented during the course semester. These texts will be read and analyzed in traditions as well as a stimulus and creative stimulus for the further development of the debate on the writer's wider literary frame of action.

It goes without saying that some of the authoritative stories of modern Greek literature available on the market, which will be proposed for distribution to the students, will be considered as basic textbooks. The purpose of this aid would be to keep the student's attention constantly in the literary environment, which is also the fermenting workshop for personality shaping and the production of each writer.
