Keywords: Classical Antiquity, Internet, exegesis of the Greco-Roman sources

Abstract

With regard to the scientific research in the humanistic studies, today the hermeneutical tools used by the Authors have increased thanks to the use of on-line databases which provide an unlimited amount of information. However, this phenomenon may not automatically correspond to a real improvement of the research results in qualitative terms. This paper, which focuses in particular on the study of Classical Antiquity, analyzes the risks of a simplified exegesis of the Greco-Roman sources due to the casual use of these digital tools.
