This revised second edition enabled the author to add a new chapter in response to the delayed release of the film 300. The book responds to new developments in the reception of Greece in contemporary popular culture. Nisbet covers many older favourites such as Hercules Unchained, Clash of the Titans, and Cleopatra as well as more recent offerings such as Troy and Alexander.
Nisbet unpacks the ideas that continue to make Greece hot property – often too hot for Hollywood to handle. His lively explorations, which assume no prior expertise in classical or film studies, will appeal to all with an interest in ‘reception’: the present day’s re-use and re-invention of the past.
