Where do we go after we die? Where do the Sun and the Moon come and go when they are not visible in the sky? Where do the winds come from? What is beyond the sea and what lies on its bottom? This seminar is an itinerary through the fairy lands imagined by the ancient Greeks and Romans: we will read the texts, confront them with ancient and modern images, try to explain how they were invented throughout history. We will combine the structuralist method of the anthropologists who look for the composition of the myth with the philological method of the Classicists, who explain the transmission of specific themes, in the long run.
Each day of seminar will be devoted to a specific topic: the underworlds (volcanoes, Hades, Hell); the worlds beyond our world (the Islands of the Blessed; the Paradise); the lands under the sea (gods and sea-monsters; Atlantis); the lands of the Sun (the raising and the setting Sun, Aia/Aiaia); the lands of the winds and beyond the winds (Eol islands; the Riphaeans; the Hyperboreans); the lands in the skyes (Olympus; the Moon). Through these examples, we will learn that the mythical spaces are not simple fantasies but syntheses of ancient common sense ideas about the unknown and unknown world. While travelling through the spaces outward the real world, we will visit the inner world of the ancient people.
For the final evaluation, each student will pick up an artistic work (literature, paintings, movie, music) containing references to the mythical lands of the Classical Antiquity and will explain their invention and transmission
