Course objectives
The aim of the seminar is to introduce scholarly study of folk fairy-tales, using the example of Greek folk literature. On the basis of lectures and reading, students will become familiar with the specifics of Greek fairy-tales; they will be capable of independent work with catalogues of fairy-tale types and other scholarly literature. Students will understand the folk fairy-tale in a wider context (philology, but also folklore studies, dialectology and psychology). Students will get to know basic theoretical resources for studying fairy-tales and they will be capable of applying them to Greek folk literature.
