Will be studied texts in verse and prose of modern Greek literature, which exploited views of ancient Greek philosophers. Apart from the many Platonic influences (D. Solomos, N. Kazantzakis), has particularly used in literary contexts the personality of Socrates (K. Varnalis, Chr. Zalokostas), the positions of pre-Socratic philosophers (Empedocles by K. Palamas, Heraclitus by Ang. Sikelianos and G. Seferis, Pythagoreans by Od. Elytis), while the Aristotelian "mimisis" is a literary theory element, provided as teaching material in Secondary Education. Each student writes a work, which presents under it graded.
