Students of Greek studies learn about Ancient Greek from the perspective of literary studies and linguistics. The cultural history of ancient Greece is also of major importance in order to understand the historical texts.
The reign of Greek philology ends at the threshold to the Middle Ages, approx. in the 6th century AD. Two approaches that complement each other play a decisive role in the subject’s methods: the historical and the literary approach. The historical approach is concerned with the discernment of a text’s origin as well as of its significance within the context of the time at which it was created. This approach connects Greek philology to other antiquity studies, especially Ancient History, Classical Archaeology, and Indo-European Studies. Together with these three disciplines, Greek philology strives to explore ancient Greco-Roman culture. The literary approach focusses on the texts themselves, including their form, their message, and their stylistic-aesthetical qualities. This approach creates links to the other philological subjects that investigate similar topics in their fields. The reference of Greek philology to present times is essential for the purpose of the subject itself as well as for the entire academic programme.
