Description
The contributions of this volume belong to two fields of interest: Six deal with the "Battle of the Teutoburg Forest" respectively the "Myth of Arminius" and originated during a meeting of "Cultural Forum Cathedral" and "Justus M?ller Society" on 21st March 2009 at Kalkriese. The actual topics are the "Battle of Varus" in 18th century historical writing, the site of the "Battle of the Teutoburg Forest" in historical remembrance, the new reception of the "Battle of Varus" in the light of the excavations at Kalkriese, the image of the Romans in German poetry on Arminius, Christian Dietrich Grabbe's "Battle of Arminius" in present times and, last but not least, the representation of Germans in schoolbooks from 1900 to 1945. Three other papers were written by authors with personal connections to Osnabr?ck University or its staff and are dedicated to different aspects of "reception of antiquity": Two texts deal with the reception of antiquity in films by the examples of "The ten commandments" [1957, Ancient Egypt] and "Ben Hur" [1959, Roman Empire], one article is based on the analysis of 19th century travel reports and personal experience on desert routes in North Africa, particularly in Libya.
