With this study the author "opened up a previously locked door of
Beethoven research" (Martin Geck). The book presents conclusive
answers to questions that had occupied critics for more than a
century. It makes clear what exactly Beethoven and his
contemporaries meant by the term "heroic". It proves that the
"heroic-allegorical ballet" The Creatures of Prometheus is a key
work for an understanding of the Eroica, and shows that Beethoven
associated the First Consul of the French Republic, Napoleon
Bonaparte, with the mythical figure of the Titan Prometheus. The
book draws on interdisciplinary researches in the areas of Greek
Mythology, Napoleonic History and Comparative Literature.
