In margine al Bessomachos di G. Pascoli

Abstract

Forty years after the first edition of the Greek poem Bessomachos by G. Pascoli, composed during his teaching period in Matera (Lexis, 1, 1988), some lesson plans and testimonies are presented here that contribute to a better understanding of the educational project in which the poem was included, and to identifying some germs of the Garibaldian patriotic epos that accompanied the poet in his last years.
