Greek and Roman stories of origin, or aetia, provide a fascinating window onto ancient conceptions of time. Aetia pervade ancient literature at all its stages, and connect the past with the present by telling us which aspects of the past survive "even now" or "ever since then". Yet, while the standard aetiological formulae remain surprisingly stable over time, the understanding of time that lies behind stories of origin undergoes profound changes. By studying a broadrange of texts and by closely examining select stories of origin from archaic Greece, Hellenistic Greece, Augustan Rome, and early Christian literature, Time in Ancient Stories of Origin traces the changing forms of stories of origin and the underlying changing attitudes to time: to the interactionof the time of gods and men, to historical time, to change and continuity, as well as to a time beyond the present one. Walter provides a model of how to analyse the temporal construction of aetia, by combining close attention to detail with a view towards the larger temporal agenda of each work. In the process, new insights are provided both into some of the best-known aetiological works of antiquity (e.g. by Hesiod, Callimachus, Vergil, Ovid) and lesser-known works (e.g. Ephorus, Prudentius,Orosius). This volume shows that aetia do not merely convey factual information about the continuity of the past, but implicate the present in ever new complex messages about time.

This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence.Festivals feature prominently in Latin literature, even in works that are not explicitly dedicated to festive days like Ovid's Fasti. Festivals in Latin Literature explores the role of festivals in elegiac, lyric, and epic poetry, as well as historiography. In all of these, festivals play a more pervasive role than has so far been realised. Tibullus' elegiac oeuvre rests on an interplay between amatory and festive poetics that even has a political meaning to it, and Propertius uses festivals in his fourth book of elegies to question, from an amatory perspective, the memory typically associated with some key Roman festivals. In the poetry of Sulpicia and Ovid's Tristia, festivals allow voices that are otherwise marginalised to shape their own fame and commemoration. Horace's Odes and the Carmen saeculare rest on an intriguing interplay of festivity in the private sphere, which forms but a fleeting and precious moment, and the monumentality of public festivals, in which the poet styles himself as a master of Roman time. Post-Vergilian Latin epicists use festivals to explore the fragility of human identity in a world dominated by the gods, in Ovid's Metamorphoses, and to question further the commemoration connected with festive days. In particular, Statius in his Thebaid undermines the foundational importance of festivals in the Aeneid, vividly staging the problematic meaning of festivals that convey a premature commemoration of an epic conflict that is unspeakable (nefas). Finally, in Livy's ab urbe condita and Tacitus' Histories, festivals both provide structure and capture long-term developments in Roman history, including Rome's rise to power and the collapse of its morals, while situating both works in broader historiographical and intertextual dialogues.The book sheds new light on these authors and works, uncovering their unique 'festive poetics'. It demonstrates that Latin literature adds important new aspects to our general understanding of festivals, which, as seen throughout the book, offer even richer avenues of creating meaning and shaping or questioning commemoration than is often assumed.

The warm-hearted, humorous and at the same time exciting children''s story "Kalle at the bird house" takes little people into the magical, wintry surroundings of an old garden. A bird house is the central meeting point for the animals, who gather there to eat. Here they experience adventures together, but also have to face challenges, because the hunting instinct lures the cats Trine and Minke into the garden. The main character, Kalle, a wood pigeon, was driven to become "the plucked one", as he is affectionately called, by an earlier encounter with the dreaded cat Minke. The tension reaches its climax when Minke tries to chase Kalle and Berta, a blackbird. In addition to entertainment, the book also conveys values such as solidarity, respect, friendship and the diversity of nature.

Die drei flavischen Epen bilden keine monolithische Einheit: Valerius Flaccus, Statius und Silius Italicus haben unterschiedliche Auffassungen von der Form und Funktion epischen Erzählens. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht, welche persona des epischen Erzählers aus einem jeden dieser Werke spricht und wie die dargestellten Sänger- und Prophetenfiguren die Haltung dieses Erzählers widerspiegeln. Dabei zeigt sich auch, dass die Interaktion zwischen dem Erzähler und der von ihm dargestellten Welt dynamischer ist als häufig angenommen.
Die flavischen Epen erscheinen als das Produkt einer Zeit, die mehr von Wandlung als von Gleichförmigkeit bestimmt ist und die immer neue literarische Antworten auf ihre sich ändernden Herausforderungen verlangt: Während Valerius Flaccus in seinem Epos den richtigen Weg zwischen Vergessen und Erinnern sucht, um in ein neues „episches Zeitalter“ aufzubrechen, stellt Statius jede Fähigkeit des Epos, bleibende Erinnerungen an Ruhmestaten zu schaffen, in Frage. Silius Italicus nimmt eine moderatere Position ein, die einen neuen Ausgleich zwischen Erinnern und Vergessen schafft.

How can time become festive? How do festivals manage to make time ‘special’, to mark out a certain day or days, to distinguish them from ‘normal’, everyday time, and to fill them with meaning? And how can we reconstruct what festive time looked like in the past and what people thought about it? While a lot of research has been done on festivals from the point of view of several scholarly disciplines, the specific temporality of festivals has not yet attracted sufficient attention. In this volume, scholars from different fields provide answers to the questions raised above, based on a fresh analysis of astronomical documents, calendars, and literary texts. Cultures as diverse as ancient Babylon, Greece and Rome, and medieval China all share a sense of calendrically recurring festive time as something special that needs to be carefully mapped out and preserved, often with great sophistication, and that gives us precious insights into the broader religious, political, and social dimensions of time within past cultures.

Die warmherzige, humorvolle und zugleich spannende Kindergeschichte "Kalle am Vogelhaus" entführt kleine Menschen in die zauberhafte, winterliche Umgebung eines alten Gartens. Ein Vogelhaus ist der zentrale Treffpunkt für die Tiere, die sich dort zum Fressen versammeln. Hier erleben sie gemeinsam Abenteuer, müssen sich aber auch Herausforderungen stellen, denn der Jagdtrieb lockt die Katzen Trine und Minke in den Garten. Die Hauptfigur Kalle, eine Ringeltaube, wurde durch eine frühere Begegnung mit der gefürchteten Katze Minke zu "dem Gerupften", wie er liebevoll genannt wird. Die Spannung erreicht ihren Höhepunkt, als Minke versucht, Kalle und die Amsel Berta zu jagen. Das Buch vermittelt neben Unterhaltung auch Werte wie Zusammenhalt, Respekt, Freundschaft und die Vielfalt der Natur.
