The first part explores the figure of Diana–Artemis from antiquity to the nineteenth century through religion, visual arts, and literature, tracing the transformations of her cult, iconography, and literary reception from ancient traditions to their reinterpretations in modern German culture. The chapter examines the presence of Diana in literature, from the Homeric poems and Hellenistic and Latin erotic poetry to the parodic rewritings of the myth in modern German literature.
