»DIE VERDAMMT BLUTIGE GESCHICHTE DER ANTIKE« MICHAEL SOMMER & STEFAN VON DER LAHR IM GESPRÄCH

In the organizer's words:

Moderation: Christiane Lutz (SZ)

Antiquity: a time of wisdom, beauty and virtue. Really? Michael Sommer, historian at the University of Oldenburg, and Stefan von der Lahr, lecturer in Classical Studies in Munich, make it clear: the business of Achilles or Romulus, Pericles or Alexander, Caesar or Augustus was not least murder en masse and in detail. So anyone who believes that democrats and republicans stopped short of violently suppressing the desire for freedom of tens of thousands is mistaken. From the conquest of Troy to the fall of Rome, Michael Sommer and Stefan von der Lahr tell "The bloody bloody history of antiquity without all the boring stuff" (C.H.Beck) - captivatingly clever and highly entertaining.
