Description

Explore the deep connection between cinema and ancient storytelling in Film and the Classical Epic Tradition. Published by Oxford University Press, this book investigates why certain films are categorized as epics. While audiences often associate the term with large-scale and spectacular productions, Joanna Paul examines if there is a more significant cultural meaning behind the label. In antiquity, the epic was a prestigious genre that covered stories from the Trojan War to the founding of Rome. These narratives focused on themes of heroism, the gods, military prowess, and spectacle. This work explores how films set in the ancient world relate to these classical literary traditions, providing a scholarly look at the relationship between historical storytelling and modern film.
