'Damaged males and empowered females: the epic protagonists of this collection, including Dwayne Johnson and Vladimir Putin, show the increasing dark tones used to depict heroism in the new millennium. Constant references to the story of Hercules show the continuing, yet mutating influence of classical myth.' Arthur J. Pomeroy, Victoria University of Wellington Representations of the ancient hero in the new millennium This is the first collection to look at the most recent manifestations of the ancient hero on screen. It brings together an array of perspectives on twenty-first century cinematic representations of ancient world heroes and antiheroes -- from the mythical Hercules in various forms to famous leaders of the Greek and Roman worlds. Films and television series examined range from Hercules and The Legend of Hercules to Atlantis and Supernatural, as well as other biopic works influenced by the figure of the ancient hero. Antony Augoustakis is Professor of Classics at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Stacie Raucci is Associate Professor of Classics at Union College in Schenectady, New York.
