Return to Troy : new essays on the Hollywood epic /
:
Return to Troy presents essays by American and European classical scholars on the Director's Cut of Troy , a Hollywood film inspired by Homer's Iliad . The book addresses major topics that are important for any twenty-first century representation of ancient Greek myth and literature in the visual media, not only in regard to Troy : the portrayals of gods, heroes, and women; director Wolfgang Petersen's epic technique; anachronisms and supposed mistakes; the fall of Troy in classical literature and on screen; and the place of the Iliad in modern popular culture. Unique features are an interview with the director, a report on the complex filming process by his personal assistant, and rare photographs taken during the original production of Troy .

A.J. Keulen's new commentary on Seneca's Troades is the fruit of a lifetime devotion to this play.

The author provides ample comparison with Senecan prose and rival poets. In addition, the commentary addresses composition and word order, and discusses textual, metrical and grammatical difficulties. A full bibliography and three indices complete this valuable book.
