  abstract  = {Lotte Eisner (1896-1983) is without doubt one of the most important early film critics and pioneers of film history. In the history of Classical Studies, however, she plays no role. She is not even mentioned in the relevant scholarly books or articles, although she received a doctorate degree in Classical Archaeology. But it is worth taking a closer look at this relatively short phase of her life. The following lines are to be understood as a sketch of her specific 'archaeological' view of German Expressionist silent films. Lotte Eisner herself comments on this in her autobiography.},

It focuses strictly on the literary aspects of the poems and their underlying carnivalesque poetics. This includes an assessment of the logic of the poems' arrangement and alleged inconsistencies. It is suggested that the section be read as a complex statement of Martial's on various works and genres of Greek and Roman literature. The last couplet of the section (14.196), a certain Calvus' work 'On the use of cold water' (De aquae frigidae usu), which is unidentifiable, receives particular attention, for previous scholarship has wasted a lot of ink on guessing what kind of work this may have been, thereby losing touch with the rich (meta-)poetics the couplet actually conveys.},

While Ovid's persona undergoes a slow development towards acceptance of the exilic condition by 'refounding' a second Rome in Tomi, Lucan's Pompey gradually severs himself from Rome, culminating in him dying far from home apparently without regrets. Both characters try to transfer the concept of Rome to new entities. However, they are not able to escape Rome's grasp: Pompey is killed by a Roman mercenary in Egypt, Naso's Roma secunda is in the end only a reproduction of the exul's irrevocably Roman fate.},

It is argued that moments of crisis contrasting Hercules' state in a given situation to his former heroic achievements give rise to representations of his body, while epic fight scenes rather draw attention to the bodies of his inferior opponents. The body is described through references to different body parts, qualified by attributes as masculine in elegiac contexts.

Examining its ads of 1911 in which certain ancient exempla are employed, it becomes clear that the Palmyrene queen Zenobia and with her the semi-historical Semiramis and the more mythical Dido are aligned to the "1001 Nights" character Scheherazade. Since they are jointly labelled as "historically famous oriental queens" and because of the reference to Zenobia's white skin, they fall into the fantasy of fair-skinned harem women and evoke thoughts of all the pleasures and comforts of the luxurious Orient. To the modern female customer of 1900 (well steeped in the knowledge of those ancient characters) Zenobia and the other exempla should serve as celebrities worth emulating. Above all they are deemed to be beautiful, and experts in cosmetics which would guarantee the effect of the product they are standing for. A finding that proves to be valid even in an advertising concept of today for the Syrian-German "Zhenobya-soap".},

The narrative defines pilgrimage not only through biblical references but also familiarizes it through references to ancient pagan practices and pagan literature and makes it compatible with the lifestyle of Rome's urban elites. While biblical references predominantly propagate Palestine's spiritual appeal as a site of centuries-long salvation events, references to the classics - often combined with the expression or the stimulation of emotions - put the region's social and intellectual appeal to the fore. The use of pagan literature, in which the traditions of educational travel of a cosmopolitan elite, the social utopia of aristocratic recessus, and not least the pleasure of otium aestheticised through literature are prefigurated, shapes Palestine in particular fashion as a place of longing. Especially the appeal of Bethlehem thus only forms through the combination of spiritual-intellectual visio and emotionally attractive social utopia, through conjunction of spelunca Christi and bucolic idyll.},
