How do epic tropes shape representations of the ancient world and
determine contemporary understandings of historical events? What
features of ancient epic persistently emerge in science fiction and
fantasy narratives adapted to the screen, and why? How does the
different scope of televisual versus cinematic media impact the
representation of conventions derived from ancient epic? The
international range of contributors to this volume respond to these
questions by looking for features of epic outside the traditional
realm of Greco-Roman antiquity, including historical films and
series, fantasy, science fiction and documentary. By identifying
epic conventions on the large and small screen, as well as within a
range of speculative fictions in fantastical and futuristic
settings, they consider the function of such conventions within
their twenty-first-century production contexts.
