520 _aExplores the cultural politics of televisual engagements with the history, literature and archaeology of Ancient GreeceAncient Greece has inspired television producers and captivated viewing audiences in the United Kingdom for over half a century. By examining how and why political, social and cultural narratives of Greece have been constructed through television’s distinctive audiovisual languages, and in relation also to its influential sister-medium radio, this volume explores the nature and function of these public engagements with the written and material remains of the Hellenic past.Through 10 case studies drawn from feature programmes, educational broadcasts, children’s animation, theatre play productions, dramatic fiction and documentaries broadcast across the decades, this collection offers wide-ranging insights into the significance of ancient Greece on British television.Brings experts from the disciplines of Classics and Media Studies together to offer rigorous examples of how to apply the methodologies of Media Studies to Classical ReceptionInvestigates institutional production contexts, developing technologies, the use of space and location, style and aesthetics, costume and staging, globalization and localization and audiencesExplores the representation of Ancient Greece across a range of forms, including documentary, television drama, radio, theatre plays, educational television and children’s animation Includes an interview with ancient historian Michael Scott and producer-director David Wilson to reflect particularly on concept to realityDiscusses content broadcast on the BBC, ITV and Channel 4Contributors include Anna Foka, Lynn Fotheringham, Peter Golphin, Tony Keen, Sarah Miles, Amanda Potter and John Wyver
