CLA213

This course investigates television and film productions of ancient Greek and Roman history, myth, and literature with particular attention to the appropriation and depiction of Ancient Roman, Greek, and Macedonian culture in different national cinemas, including Japan, China, India, Columbia, Egypt, the U.S., and Europe. We examine works from the earliest days of cinema to the present, with special attention to ancient world stories on screen from 2000 onward. We will study modern visual narratives in conjunction with ancient source material and examine how ancient literature, themes, or myths are adapted to their cultural time and place.
