About this book
Reviews
“This is a quite informative, useful book. … This book is full of unexpected insights and information not only of great use to the scholar, but especially to the non-specialist instructor interested in incorporating modern (and not obviously mythological) movies into a mythology class or a wide variety of other courses.” (Jean Alvares, CJ-Online, April, 2016)
"Hollywood and art-house movies use classical mythology as a means of thinking about contemporary preoccupations. Classical Myth on Screen is a fresh and energetic look at myth in the movies, with new insights on myth, gender, and religion, as well as the processes of cinematic myth-making. There are many delights in this collection; I will never think about Orpheus or Katniss Everdeen in quite the same way again." - Helen Morales, author of Classical Mythology: A Very Short IntroductionAbout the authors
