englischThese fifteen papers, published between 1987 and 2022, discuss the following themes: criticism of classicistic translations of Homer and Ovid; the history of the reception of Virgil, Horace and Lucian in literature and Classics; selected humanists and their study of ancient authors in the Renaissance hubs of Heidelberg, Munich, Nuremberg and Wittenberg during the 16th century and the Thirty Years’ War; comparative reception of antiquity 1941–1945: the leaflets of the White Rose resistance movement and students of Classics at Munich University; and Peter Hacks and his adaptations of Greek and Roman literature in poetry, drama and prose narrative.

»The first five essays deal with the reception of individual authors, the next eight articles are devoted to the sixteenth (plus one to the seventeenth) century, and the final two entries treat twentieth-century topics. General readers may find the penultimate essay most compelling: "Antike Texte in Studium und Flugblatt." It traces the everyday activities of the Munich classics department in the years leading up to the 1943 execution of the "White Rose" activists to speculate about the ways classical texts and extra-curricular events were used both to support Nazi policies and to inspire resistance.«
