Film and the Classical Epic Tradition - Classical Presences
Paul, Joanna (Lecturer in Classical Studies, The Open University)
Paul explores the relationship between films set in the ancient world and the classical epic tradition, arguing that there is a connection between the genres. Through this careful consideration of how epic manifests itself through different periods and cultures, we learn how cinema makes a claim to be a modern vehicle for a very ancient tradition.
