This revised and expanded second edition responds to new
developments in the reception of Greece in contemporary popular
culture, and particularly the impact of the film "300" (2006). Why,
in a century of film-making, have so few versions of the story of
Alexander the Great - or that of Troy's fall - made it to the big
screen? In the aftermath of "Gladiator" (2000), with Hollywood
studios rushing to revisit the ancient world with "Troy" and
"Alexander" (both 2004), this question takes on renewed
significance. 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. 'Ancient Greece
in Film and Popular Culture' is a companion volume to 'Ancient Rome
at the Cinema: Story and Spectacle in Hollywood and Rome', by Elena
Theodorakopoulos (2010, paperback isbn: 9781904675280, hardback
isbn: 9781904675540).
