Ancient Greece in Film and Popular Culture: Updated Second Edition: Greece and Rome Live
Autor Gideon Nisbeten Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 iul 2008
This revised second edition enabled the author to add a new chapter in response to the delayed release of the film 300.
The book responds to new developments in the reception of Greece in contemporary popular culture. Nisbet covers many older favourites such as Hercules Unchained, Clash of the Titans, and Cleopatra as well as more recent offerings such as Troyand Alexander.
Nisbet unpacks the ideas that continue to make Greece hot property – often too hot for Hollywood to handle. His lively explorations, which assume no prior expertise in classical or film studies, will appeal to all with an interest in ‘reception’: the present day’s re-use and re-invention of the past.

Recenzii
"[The book] is aimed at a popular audience, favors large ideas, and seeks to provoke questions rather than to settle them. . . . It is well suited to sparking discussion among undergraduates as well as introducing new perspectives to scholars. . . . It would be especially useful in combination with other recent studies as a stimulating introduction to the current scholarly conversation on Classics, media, and popular culture."
"A brief but punchy account of the topic, and will be of considerable value to a wide audience. . . . Nisbet convinces us that taste and value judgments are of limited importance here when compared to the bigger questions of how receptions of Greece, and the classical past more generally, play out in the modern world, and the examples he uses to address this question turn out to be entirely apt.
