Drama, death, glory and love flowed through the blood of the Egyptians under the watchful eyes of their Gods & Goddesses...
Ancient Egypt was one of the greatest & most powerful civilizations in the world ever
And of all ancient civilizations, Egyptians rule supreme when it comes to mystery and fantasy...From the lavish colors of their papyruses to how they mastered building technology thousands of years before anyone else, and to the legends surrounding the lives and deaths of their kings. Egyptians are an eternal source of awe.
Not only did they know how to build great structures, they also knew how to have fun. They loved beer and board games, they used makeup, and they allowed women more freedom than many other women in the ancient world.
You see, Game of Thrones has nothing on the intricacies, wars, and battles Egyptian dynasties fought for thousands of years. Ancient Egypt has it all: drama, love stories, myths, massive buildings, death, destruction and pain. Let's listen to them and explore their timeless stories

Each retelling of the Troy story is discussed in its historical context and includes a synopsis of the story itself, because the ways of telling this story change over time. The main versions considered include: Homer’s <em>Iliad and Odyssey</em>; a selection of Classical Greek Dramas (especially <em>Iphigenia at Aulis</em>); Virgil’s <em>Aeneid</em>; Chaucer’s <em>Troilus and Criseyde</em>; Guido delle Colonne’s <em>History of the Destruction of Troy</em>; Racine’s <em>Iphigenia (at Aulis) </em>; Goethe’s <em>Iphigenia in Tauris</em>; Shakespeare’s <em>Troilus and Cressida</em>; Joyce’s <em>Ulysses</em>; and two feminist Troy novels, Sheri Tepper’s <em>The Gate to Women’s Country</em> and Marion Zimmer Bradley’s <em>The Firebrand</em>.

Автор: Liz Gloyn Название: Tracking Classical Monsters in Popular Culture ISBN: 1784539341 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781784539344 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 84480.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание:
What is it about ancient monsters that popular culture still finds so enthralling? Why do the monsters of antiquity continue to stride across the modern world? In this book, the first in-depth study of how post-classical societies use the creatures from ancient myth, Liz Gloyn reveals the trends behind how we have used monsters since the 1950s to the present day, and considers why they have remained such a powerful presence in our shared cultural imagination. She presents a new model for interpreting the extraordinary vitality that classical monsters have shown, and their enormous adaptability in finding places to dwell in popular culture without sacrificing their connection to the ancient world.
Her argument takes her readers through a comprehensive tour of monsters on film and television, from the much-loved creations of Ray Harryhausen in Clash of the Titans to the monster of the week in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, before looking in detail at the afterlives of the Medusa and the Minotaur. She develops a broad theory of the ancient monster and its life after antiquity, investigating its relation to gender, genre and space to offer a bold and novel exploration of what keeps drawing us back to these mythical beasts. From the siren to the centaur, all monster lovers will find something to enjoy in this stimulating and accessible book.
