GermanAbstract
This volume examines collections of pseudonymous letters, that is, fictitious letters that were written under the names of famous historical personalities. It therefore navigates the intersection between studies of ancient letters and ancient fiction. The genre is well-suited for exploring the relationship between letters and power, as the central focus of these collections is reflecting on and portraying power and powerlessness.
