Reviews for Classical Myth on Screen
“This is a quite informative, useful book. … This book is full of unexpected insights and information not only of great use to the scholar, but especially to the non-specialist instructor interested in incorporating modern (and not obviously mythological) movies into a mythology class or a wide variety of other courses.” (Jean Alvares, CJ-Online, April, 2016)
