What is the third movement of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony theme called?

Beethoven's 3rd Symphony, is the third symphony written by Ludwig van Beethoven. It was originally entitled "Napoleon" because Beethoven admired Napoleon Bonaparte as a liberator of the oppressed and a great hero. Beethoven eventually recognised Bonaparte for what he was and changed the name to "Eroica" (A Great Man). Full title is - Symphony No. 3 in E flat major, op. 55 "Eroica" "Op" is short for opus. Opus means work, so it is his 55th work. ---- == == Beethoven's Third Symphony was originally written in honor of Napoleon, but when Napoleon had himself crowned "Emperor," Beethoven was disgusted and changed the name to Eroica (Heroic). Beethoven's Third represents the beginning of his middle period, where he begins to understand and come to grips with his impending deafness. For some, Beethoven's Third also represents the end of the Classical period and the beginning of the Romantic period.
