- Druids have existed far longer than hitherto assumed, since the 4th century BC. Their traces are found all over middle Europe: from the northern Balkans to Ireland. Their cultural achievements were equal in almost every way to those of the Romans and Greeks: They could read and write and spoke Greek and Latin - for centuries, they were the powerful elite of their culture. Only one single Druid is known by name to history: Diviciacos - an aristocrat of the Aedui and personal friend of Julius Caesar. Diviciacos was a politician, a judge and a diplomat, but he lived at a time when the Celtic lands of Gaul were conquered by the Romans. Greek and Roman contemporaries distrusted the actions of this forbear of the famous comic book druid Getafix: They imagined him in bloody rituals in somber woods. For a long time, scholars thought the tales of human sacrifices were Roman propaganda. Archaeologists were all the more surprised when actually finding a Celtic ritual site in the Swabian Jura that contained traces of human sacrifices. Today, the druids' spirituality still serves as an example for many people. For the past 300 years, there has been a Neo-Druidry.
- From "The Little Mermaid" to "The Snow Queen", Hans Christian Andersen has left behind a rich collection of stories tinged with magic, but also with tragedy, which have kept a place of honor, from generation to generation, in children's libraries and the collective imagination. At the antipodes of the Grimm brothers' optimistic folk tales, the melancholy of his stories, sometimes crowned with a desperate end, speaks true to children and their parents alike. His tales, whose contemporary popularity also owes much to Disney, earned him immense fame from his maturity, beyond the borders of his native Denmark, even if the rest of his work (he was also a playwright, poet, novelist and short story writer) was hardly successful.
