Introduction
Screening Love and War in Troy
This is the first volume of essays published on the television series Troy: Fall of a City (BBC One and Netflix, 2018). Covering a wide range of engaging topics, such as gender, race and politics, international scholars in the fields of classics, history and film studies discuss how the story of Troy has been recreated on screen to suit the expectations of modern audiences. The series is commended for the thought-provoking way it handles importan…
Women in Classical Video Games
Despite the prevalence of video games set in or inspired by classical antiquity, the medium has to date remained markedly understudied in the disciplines of classics and ancient history, with the role of women in these video games especially neglected. Women in Classical Video Games seeks to address this imbalance as the first book-length work of scholarship to examine the depiction of women in video games set in classical antiquity. The volume s…
Geographies of Myth and Places of Identity
Turning to a region of South Italy associated with Greater Greece and the geographies of Homer’s Odyssey, Marco Benoît Carbone delivers a historical and ethnographic treatment of how places defined in public imagination and media by their associated histories become sites of memory and identity, as their landscape and mythologies turn into insignia of a romanticised antiquity.

The aim of the book is to show the different ways in which the figure of Cleopatra was able …

Two series that premiered on premium cable television channels, HBO Rome (2005-2007) and STARZ Spartacus…
Upward Mobility in the House of Batiatus
Upward Mobility in the House of Batiatus
This chapter considers the depiction of the ambitious, ruthless couple Batiatus and Lucretia and their scheming aspirations to turn their ludus into the foremost gladiator spectacle business in Capua. Although their plans for upward mobility utilize violence, sexual manipulation, and multiple murders, the chapter claims that this does not diminish the characters' appeal to viewers, due to a pair of robust and sympathetic performances by the actor…
