      The goal Objective of the course is to provide a basic level of general and special knowledge in the field of Virgilianism. The acquisition of knowledge takes place in three aspects: intertextual, literary-theoretical and hermeneutic-aesthetic. In the intertextual aspect, the goal of the course is to look at the complex and dynamic relationships between Virgil's work and a large number of poetic, didactic, philosophical and historiographical texts of the Hellenic, Hellenistic and Roman traditions. In terms of literary theory, the aim of the course is to get acquainted with the poetic, structural and genre peculiarities of the Eclogue, Georgics and Aeneid individually, as well as to get acquainted with Virgil's unique creative process as a whole. From a hermeneutic-aesthetic point of view, the aim of the course is to acquire the ability to perceive the value of Virgil's poetic vision and to recognize the aesthetic values ​​that determined its enormous importance for European culture.
      The outcome The outcome of the course lies in the ability to analyze the basic features of Virgil's poetics, as well as all three of his works individually, in their intertextual and interdisciplinary aspect. In this way, the skill will be acquired to look at the Eclogues, Georgics and Aeneid in a wide range of meanings and to bring them into connection with various cultural phenomena of the latter epochs.
