This volume examines cinematic representations of ancient Greek
women from the realms of myth and history. It discusses how these
female figures are resurrected on the big screen by different
filmmakers during different historical moments, and are therefore
embedded within a narrative which serves various purposes,
depending on the director of the film, its screenwriters, the
studio, the country of its origin, and the sociopolitical context
at the time of its production. Using a diverse array of hermeneutic
approaches (such as gender theory, feminist criticism,
psychoanalysis, viewer-response theory, and personal voice
criticism), the essays aim to cast light on cinema's investments in
the classical past and decode the mechanisms whereby the women
under examination are extracted from their original context and are
brought to life to serve as vehicles for the articulation of modern
ideas, concerns, and cultural trends. The volume thus aims to
investigate not only how antiquity on the screen depicts, and in
this process distorts, compresses, contests, and revises, antiquity
on the page but also, more crucially, why the medium follows such
eclectic representational strategies vis-a-vis the classical world.
