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 examines the overlap and hybridization of Venus and Diana within the mythic complex of the Venusberg, tracing its literary development from the medieval legend to Romanticism and analyzing modern rewritings of the myth in works by Tieck, Eichendorff, Wagner, and Heine.
