Look at a film adaptation of a story from Greece or Rome. Analyze the way that the film covers its subject matter. How close to historically accurate or faithful to the original story is it? Why do you think changes were made to the story? What do those changes say about the culture that created the adaptation (for instance, ours if you choose a film from Hollywood)?

Humanities Question

For this essay look at a film adaptation of a story from Greece or Rome. Analyze the way that the film covers its subject matter. How close to historically accurate or faithful to the original story is it? Why do you think changes were made to the story? What do those changes say about the culture that created the adaptation (for instance, ours if you choose a film from Hollywood)?

There have been numerous movies made about Roman history as well as Greek mythology in the modern era, notably Jason and the Argonauts and a couple of adaptations of The Clash of the Titans, which tells the story of Perseus.

It does not have to be good example of an adaptation, terrible adaptations can be the most interesting to look at. An example of a terrible adaptation is the film Troy that adapted the story of the Trojan War from ancient Greek myth.
