Zusammenfassung: | A survey of modern cinematic and televisual responses to the concept of the golden ageThis collection of fourteen essays explores how the dominant media of our time - film and television - have engaged with the golden age as formulated in the Western classical tradition.Drawing on ancient Greek and Roman literature and culture, from Hesiod to Suetonius, these essays assess the far-reaching influence of the golden age concept on screen texts ranging from prestige projects like Gladiator and HBO's Rome, to cult classics Xanadu and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, made by auteurs including Jules Dassin and the Coen Brothers. The book also looks at fantasy (Game of Thrones), science fiction (Serenity), horror (The Walking Dead), war/combat (the 300 franchise, Centurion), and the American Western.Draws on ancient Greek and Roman literature and culture, from Hesiod to SuetoniusConsiders prestige projects, cult classics and classical influence on genre productionsExplores how the mythical past is invoked through political rhetoric and popular media |
