Description
An examination of how screen texts embrace, refute, and reinvent the cultural heritage of antiquity, this volume looks at specific story-patterns and archetypes from Greco-Roman culture. The contributors offer a variety of perspectives, highlighting key cultural relay points at which a myth is received and reformulated for a particular audience.

Reviews
"This is a quite informative, useful book. ... This book is full of unexpected insights and information not only of great use to the scholar, but especially to the non-specialist instructor interested in incorporating modern (and not obviously mythological) movies into a mythology class or a wide variety of other courses." (Jean Alvares, CJ-Online, April, 2016)
