The terrible and long-drawn-out siege of Troy remains one of the classic campaigns. The Odyssey chronicles the many trials and adventures Odysseus must pass through on his long journey home from the Trojan wars to his beloved wife.

Le sue avventure si sviluppano in un continuo intreccio di rapporti con gli dèi, i quali di volta in volta in volta lo salvano o tentano di eliminarlo.

Als Götz von Berlichingen 1773 erschien, war das Stück eine Sensation - und machte seinen Autor Johann Wolfgang von Goethe schlagartig weltberühmt. Die Abkehr von der aristotelischen Dramenstruktur der Einheit von Handlung, Raum und Zeit war ein mutiger Schritt; das Sturm-und-Drang-Drama war Vorbild für Schillers "Räuber". Das Drama des rechtschaffenen Ritters Götz von Berlichingen, dessen Freiheitsliebe und Kaisertreue gegen einen intriganten Adel auf verlorenem Posten stehen, ist noch heute ein beliebtes Stück auf den Bühnen - und Bestandteil vieler Literaturlisten der Schulen!
