This volume explores film and television sources in problematic
conversation with classical antiquity, to better understand the
nature of artistic reception and classical reception in particular.
Drawing inspiration from well-theorized fields like adaptation
studies, comparative literature, and film, the essays in this
collection raise questions fundamental to the future of reception
studies. The first section, 'Beyond Fidelity', deals with
idiosyncratic adaptations of ancient sources; the second section,
'Beyond Influence', discusses modern works purporting to adapt
ancient figures or themes that are less straightforwardly ancient
than they may at first appear; while the last section, 'Beyond
Original', uses films that lack even these murky connections to
antiquity to challenge the notion that studying reception requires
establishing historical connections between works. As questions of
audience, interpretation, and subjectivity are central to most
contemporary fields of study, this is a collection that is of
interest to a wide variety of readers in the humanities.
