THE CONCEPT OF NEWS IN ANCIENT GREEK LITERATURE...

The concept of news that we have today is not a modern invention  but rather a social and
cultural institution that has been passed down to us by the Greeks as a legacy. This concept is
only modified by the social  political  and economic conditions that make our society different
from theirs. In order to understand what was considered news in Ancient Greece  a lexical study
of GammaGamma and all of its derivatives attested in a representative corpus of the period
spanning from the second millennium BC to the end of the fourth BC has been conducted. This
piece of research provides new contributions both to studies in Classics (there are hardly any
studies on the transmission of news in Antiquity) and in journalism. This study also reveals an
interesting point: the presence of false news - similar to current fake news - in ancient Greek
literature  especially in tragedy and historiography when it comes to the use of the
derivatives of GammaGamma .
