The third part examines modern rewritings of the myth of Diana in the works of Heine and in the broader German Romantic tradition. It explores the transformations of the goddess across literary and performative forms—from the Venusberg myth to Heine’s ballet pantomime Die Göttin Diana—highlighting hybridizations with other mythic figures, political symbolism, and the interplay between pagan and Christian imagery. The chapter focuses on Heine’s ballet pantomime Die Göttin Diana, examining its editorial history, mythological and theatrical sources. It analyzes its Renaissance-inspired performative features, including pantomime, bacchanal, tableau vivant, and psychomachia, culminating in the concept of christian-pagan transfiguration and resurrection.
