From fantasy novels, like\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Percy Jackson,<\/i>\u00a0<\/span>to superhero films (<\/span>Wonder Woman<\/i>) to viral hashtags on social-media, the ancient world has a constant presence in our modern world. Greco-Roman history, myths, stories, and literature are still actively used, but also misused, within the framework of \u201cwestern\u201d and global culture. In this course, we will discuss how Classical antiquity has been received, interpreted, or appropriated in the twenty-first century through different popular\u00a0<\/span><\/span>media<\/i>, such as movies, TV shows, comic books, video games, and social-media, in order to gain a better understanding of what the ancient world can tell us about the modern.<\/span><\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n
