Helen Roche, Kyriakos Demetriou.<br><br>The first ever guide to the manifold uses and reinterpretations of
the classical tradition in Mussolini’s Italy and Hitler’s Germany, <i>Brill’s Companion to the Classics, Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany</i>
explores how political propaganda manipulated and reinvented the legacy
of ancient Greece and Rome in order to create consensus and historical
legitimation for the Fascist and National Socialist dictatorships.<br><p>The
memory of the past is a powerful tool to justify policy and create
consensus, and, under the Fascist and Nazi regimes, the legacy of
classical antiquity was often evoked to promote thorough transformations
of Italian and German culture, society, and even landscape. At the same
time, the classical past was constantly recreated to fit the ideology
of each regime. This volume caters to a wide readership, including
anyone interested in the classical tradition, Fascism, Nazism,
totalitarian culture and aesthetics, or in twentieth-century history
more generally.</p>TABLE OF CONTENTS:<br><br>List of Illustrations<br>Notes on Contributors<br><br>Introduction<br><br>“Distant Models”?
