"Arminius the Liberator: Myth and Ideology deals with a particular, although wide-ranging,
aspect in the long reception history of Arminius the Cheruscan, commonly called Hermann.
Arminius inflicted one of their most devastating defeats on the Romans in the year
9 A.D., when he destroyed three legions under the command of Varus in the Battle in
the Teutoburg Forest, as it is generally called. Martin M. Winkler traces the origin
and development of the Arminius legend in antiquity and in political and ideological
appropriations of Arminius-Hermann since the nineteenth century. The book's central
theme is the ideological use and abuse of history and of historical myth in Germany:
Weimar-era nationalism, National Socialism, and the reaction to the ideological taint
of the Arminius figure after 1945. The book also examines the various appearances
of Arminius in art and media from the 1960s until today. Special emphasis is on the
representation of Arminius in the era of visual mass media in Germany, Italy, and
the U.S.: painting (Anselm Kiefer) and theater (Claus Peymann) but, most extensively,
cinema, television, and computer videos"
