Nevertheless, Poppaea Sabina, the second wife of Emperor Nero, is said to has bathed in donkey's milk to beautify her skin. The aim of the paper is to reconstruct the genesis and develop-ment of the modern myth of Cleopatra bathing in donkey's milk. The origin of this myth can be traced back to the cinema of the 1930s. The result is that in the person of the actress Claudette Colbert her two roles as Cleopatra and Poppaea converged. This convergence was the basis for the popularization of the milk bath by the Cleopat-ra movie of 1963 with Elizabeth Taylor.}, language = {de} } @article{Ullrich2020, author = {Ullrich, Rebecca}, title = {„Sage diesen Psalm und er wird dir einen guten Anteil bringen"}, series = {Genisa Bl{\"a}tter III}, journal = {Genisa Bl{\"a}tter III}, editor = {Denz, Rebekka and Rudolf, Gabi}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-470-8}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-47096}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-470967}, pages = {81 -- 98}, year = {2020}, language = {de} } @article{Brueck2022, author = {Br{\"u}ck, Alexander}, title = {„Rom lernt von den Griechen, Europa von Rom"}, series = {thersites 14}, volume = {2022}, journal = {thersites 14}, number = {14}, editor = {Amb{\"u}hl, Annemarie and Carl{\`a}-Uhink, Filippo and Rollinger, Christian and Walde, Christine}, issn = {2364-7612}, doi = {10.34679/thersites.vol14.198}, pages = {41 -- 102}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Given the immense ethnic and cultural diversity as well as the vast geographical dimensions of the Roman Empire, the teaching of Roman antiquity comprises an enormous potential to deal with the increasing heterogeneity in German-speaking classrooms.

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.

Prior scholarship tends to treat the Amazons as hostile 'Other' figures, embodying the antithesis of Greco-Roman cultural norms. Recently, scholars have begun to examine positive portrayals of Amazons in contemporary media, as role models and heroic figures. However, there is a dearth of scholarship examining the Amazons' inherently multifaceted nature, and their subsequent polarised reception in popular media. This article builds upon the large body of scholarship on contemporary Amazon narratives, in which the figures of Wonder Woman and Xena, Warrior Princess dominate scholarly discourse. These 'modern Amazon' figures epitomise the dominant contemporary trend of portraying Amazons as strong female role models and feminist icons. To highlight the complexity of the Amazon image in contemporary media, this article examines the representation of the Amazons in the Supernatural episode 'Slice Girls' (S7 E13, 2012), where their portrayal as hostile, monstrous figures diverges greatly from the positive characterisation of Wonder Woman and Xena. I also consider the show's engagement with ancient written sources, to examine how the writers draw upon the motifs of ancient Amazon narratives when crafting their unique Amazon characters. By contrasting the Amazons of 'Slice Girls' to contemporary figures and ancient narratives, this article examines how factors such as feminist ideology, narrative story arcs, characters'/audience's perspectives and male bias shape the representation of Amazons post-antiquity.}, language = {en} } @article{D'Aprile2023, author = {D'Aprile, Iwan-Michelangelo}, title = {{\"O}konomische Aufkl{\"a}rung und europ{\"a}ische Friedenspolitik}, series = {Die Preußische Seehandlung zwischen Markt, Staat und Kultur : 40 Jahre Stiftung Preußische Seehandlung}, journal = {Die Preußische Seehandlung zwischen Markt, Staat und Kultur : 40 Jahre Stiftung Preußische Seehandlung}, editor = {Wienfort, Monika}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-562-0}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-59986}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-599865}, pages = {25 -- 52}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Kein anderer Akteur pr{\"a}gte die ersten Dezennien der Preußischen Seehandlung so sehr wie Carl August von Struensee.

In conclusion, we shall formulate some remarks on the interpretation of the association between the Byzantine Chrysotriklinos and the Gondorian Great Hall.

Classicists have primarily been concerned with errors of historicity, Alexander's assumed tragic traits, and rather associative conclusions concerning the movie's political implications.

Therefore, for the first time, Rossen's interview comments on Alexander are analysed comprehensively and systematically. Furthermore, it is shown that neglected sources are central to the plot. Finally, the film is interpreted against the backdrop of Rossen's oeuvre. It can be demonstrated that Rossen's issue is the problem of ideology. He seeks a redefinition of glory. Military success is only an excuse for the pursuit of mere power. For Rossen, however, the true fame is nothing but the benefit of the people. It took a long time for Alexander to realize that his rule was inane, and to reshape his policy. This interpretation is due to fundamental convictions reflected in Rossen's oeuvre as well as to his personal experiences in politics.

Tolkien's Battle of Helm's Deep contains the same elements split across two narratives: the defense of the causeway leading to the gates of the Deep by Aragorn, {\´E}omer, and Gimli; and, after the fall of the Deeping wall, Aragorn's defiant stand alone on the stairway leading to the inner doors of the Hornburg. Aragorn's double action demonstrates a fulfillment of Livy's exemplary arc. Tolkien's knowledge of Macaulay's "Horatius" provides a possible intermediary that accounts for various additions to the story. However, the larger structure of Tolkien's narrative as well as the imagery that resonates throughout the text distinctly evoke the vivid descriptions of Livy.

It shows how Holdstock's re-writing of the Argonautica draws on various versions from the Argonautic tradition, including Euripides' Medea, Apollonius, Valerius Flaccus, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry Treece and the 1963 film Jason and the Argonauts. It sets Holdstock's Argo alongside other representations, as divine herself, possessed by divinity, and a channel of communication with the divine, and in the context of Holdstock's previous work, particularly Mythago Wood, Lavondyss and Merlin's Wood. The paper argues that Holdstock uses the Argo as a reflection of myth itself, a version of the forest in Mythago Wood, as well as a metapoetic image for the challenges and complexities of adapting a well-known story, bringing multiple mythological traditions (Arthurian, Finnish and Argonautic) together. It reflects on Holdstock's relationship to the ancient genres of epic and tragedy, as well as Argo as plot facilitator and mechanism of transformation and transition. Holdstock's relationship with ancient literature is richer and deeper than previously acknowledged; his self-conscious plays reveal a deep understanding of the polymorphous nature of mythical traditions.}, language = {en} } @misc{Ferrara2023, author = {Ferrara, Pasquale}, title = {Recensione di Mario Baumann/ Vasileios Liotsakis (eds.): Reading History in the Roman Empire}, series = {thersites 16}, volume = {2023}, journal = {thersites 16}, number = {16}, editor = {Amb{\"u}hl, Annemarie and Carl{\`a}-Uhink, Filippo and Rollinger, Christian and Walde, Christine}, issn = {2364-7612}, doi = {10.34679/thersites.vol16.236}, pages = {178 -- 183}, year = {2023}, language = {it} } @misc{Benedetti2020, author = {Benedetti, Ginevra}, title = {Recension de Fabien Bi{\`e}vre-Perrin \& {\´E}lise Pampanay (dir.)

Thus, to violate it would be a terrible act of desecration, not unlike Lucan's narrator's shock at Caesar's desecration of the sacred grove at Massilia (Lucan BC 3.447 - 8, quoted in the title of this paper). After exploring the relationship between Ents and sacred groves, the paper will compare the fate of Caesar to that of Saruman, who violated Fangorn Forest.

For Tolkien, therefore, these races have a corporate or political psychology that explains who they are as peoples in the history of Middle-earth. I offer a comprehensive view of the major races, connecting the dwarves with the appetitive artisans of the Republic, humans with the honour- and glory-seeking auxiliaries, and elves with the ruling guardians. This treatment explains the artisanal dwarves, as well as the battle-loving men (and women) of Rohan and Gondor, and the nostalgic, 'anamnetic' condition of exile that distinguishes the elves.
