This article aims to show how the majority of contemporaneous Latin textbooks, however, fail to use this potential by being limited to mono-perspective and Eurocentric approaches to the ancient world. In spite of didactical claims to foster students' intercultural competence, most of the textbooks depict the city of Rome as an ethnically and culturally homogeneous sphere. At the same time, they present the Roman Empire nearly exclusively from the perspective of representatives of Italian-born, powerful upper-class families firmly connected to 'Roman' culture. In doing so, the Latin textbooks falsify the ancient historical realities and deprive students of the perspectives of figures like provincials or slaves. Furthermore, the textbooks' narrative scope clearly focusses on Rome and Greece, still paying noticeable attention to West-European provinces, with the African and Asian ones being remarkably excluded. Only few exceptions among the textbooks apply alternative approaches which allow students to engage with the Roman Empire's intercultural dynamics in a more differentiated and multi-perspective way.}, language = {de} } @article{Capra2022, author = {Capra, Elena Sofia}, title = {"Orfeo out of Care"}, series = {thersites 15}, volume = {2022}, journal = {thersites 15}, number = {15}, editor = {Amb{\"u}hl, Annemarie and Carl{\`a}-Uhink, Filippo and Rollinger, Christian and Walde, Christine}, issn = {2364-7612}, doi = {10.34679/thersites.vol15.209}, pages = {52 -- 89}, year = {2022}, abstract = {The paper focuses on an example of multiple-step reception: the contribution of the classical story of Orpheus and Eurydice and the mediaeval lay Sir Orfeo to Tolkien's work. In the first part, I compare the lay with Virgilian and Ovidian versions of Orpheus' myth. This comparison shows the anonymous author's deep knowledge of the ancient texts and complex way of rewriting them through stealing and hybridization. The lay was highly esteemed by Tolkien, who translated it and took inspiration from it while describing the Elven kingdom in The Hobbit and building the storyline of Beren and L{\´u}thien in The Silmarillion. Through this key tale, Orpheus/Orfeo's romance has a deep influence also on Aragorn and Arwen's story in The Lord of the Rings. The most important element that Tolkien takes from the Sir Orfeo figuration of the ancient story is undoubtedly the insertion of political theme: the link established between the recovery of the main character's beloved and the return to royal responsability. The second part of the paper is, thus, dedicated to the reception of Sir Orfeo and the classical myth in Tolkien. It shows how in his work the different steps of the tradition of Orpheus' story are co-present, creating an inextricable substrate of inspiration that nourishes his imagination.}, language = {en} } @article{ChinnThompson2022, author = {Chinn, Christopher and Thompson, Phoebe}, title = {Tolkien's Ithilien and the Landscape of the Ancient Mediterranean}, series = {thersites 15}, volume = {2022}, journal = {thersites 15}, number = {15}, editor = {Amb{\"u}hl, Annemarie and Carl{\`a}-Uhink, Filippo and Rollinger, Christian and Walde, Christine}, issn = {2364-7612}, doi = {10.34679/thersites.vol15.211}, pages = {163 -- 203}, year = {2022}, abstract = {This paper examines the intertext between Tolkien's Ithilien episode in Two Towers and artistic presentations of plants in the art and literature of Augustan Rome.
