Title: Violenza bestiale
Description: To what extent is "the natural" the link between violence and humanity? That is, does a violence represented in terms of bestiality lead to a vision of humanity in which violence is relegated to the margins? Starting from these questions, this study looks at the cultural representation of the act of violence in Greek literature, using the concept of "anthropoiesis," drawn from the field of socio-anthropology, as a heuristic tool.
