Return to Troy - New Essays on the Hollywood Epic (Hardcover)

Return to Troy presents essays by American and European classical scholars on the Director's Cut of Troy, a Hollywood film inspired by Homer's Iliad. The book addresses major topics that are important for any twenty-first century representation of ancient Greek myth and literature in the visual media, not only in regard to Troy: the portrayals of gods, heroes, and women; director Wolfgang Petersen's epic technique; anachronisms and supposed mistakes; the fall of Troy in classical literature and on screen; and the place of the Iliad in modern popular culture. Unique features are an interview with the director, a report on the complex filming process by his personal assistant, and rare photographs taken during the original production of Troy.
