Reviews
provides valuable material for students, both undergraduates and graduates, and scholars who are interested in the reception of the classical past in cultural studies and film studies. * Daphne Giofkou, The Kelvingrove Review, *
Ancient Greek Women in Film is a most welcome addition to classical reception studies a valuable contribution to our understanding of "transformed antiquity" and a solid basis for future research in this important area. * Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
This excellent collection of 13 essays is yet another title in OUP's rapidly expanding and thoroughly engaging Classical Presences series ... They contain so much valuable scholarship which members of JACT and their pupils would enjoy ... I did not find a weak or dull essay in the collection and I can wholeheartedly recommend it to those who enjoy discussing modern productions on classical subjects, scrutinizing their historical accuracy, or analysing what they can tell us about the intersection of antiquity and the modern world. * Journal of Classics Teaching *
Ancient Greek Women in Film is an important contribution to the study of cinematic receptions of ancient Greece, for which the editor and authors are to be commended. In sum, I recommend this book highly. Most chapters can serve not only scholars and graduate students but also advanced undergraduates. * Cloelia *
The volume will be of interest to a wide range of scholars in many disciplines. Its interdisciplinary approach will make it appealing to those in American Studies, Classics, Film and Media Studies, and Gender Studies. It is a welcome contribution to the growing literature on the ancients on screen. * Stacie Raucci, The Classical Journal Online *
