商品簡介
Hercules Conquers Atlantis, for example, and Xena: Warrior Princess, The Private Cleopatra, and Gladiator Eroticus are among the movies considered, but television and computer games are also on the bill. The contributors are by and large classicists, rather than scholars of contemporary popular culture, so the emphasis is on the intersection's impact on the mythology rather than on the media. Other topics include how to make Jason and the Argonauts suitable for children, Louis MacNeice's radio classics, videogame receptions of the classical world, a battle for antiquity in computer game history, the Internet generation visits the brothel in Pompeii, and ancient mythology and modern myths.
