This dynamic collection of original essays by leading
international film scholars and classicists addresses the
provocative representation of sexuality in the ancient world on
screen. Throughout the history of cinema, filmmakers have returned
to the history, mythology, and literature of Greek and Roman
antiquity as the ideal site for narratives of erotic adventure and
displays of sexual excess. A critical reader on the creative
approaches used to screen sexuality in classical settings,
contributors utilize case studies from films such as Kiss Me Deadly
(1955), Angels & Insects (1995), and Alexander (2004) as well
as the television series Rome (2005-07) and Spartacus: Blood and
Sand (2010). Featuring contributors such as Antony Augoustakis,
Alison Futrell, Paula James, and Corinne Pache, the essays in this
collection apply a variety of theoretical perspectives to the role
of love and sexuality in screening the ancient world.
