This volume examines cinematic representations of ancient Greek women from the realms of myth and history. It discusses how these female figures are resurrected on the big screen by different filmmakers during different historical moments, and are therefore embedded within a narrative which serves various purposes, depending on the director of the film, its screenwriters, the studio, the country of its origin, and the sociopolitical context at the time of its production. Using a diverse array of hermeneutic approaches (such as gender theory, feminist criticism, psychoanalysis, viewer-response theory, and personal voice criticism) , the essays aim to cast light on cinema's investments in the classical past and decode the mechanisms whereby the women under examination are extracted from their original context and are brought to life to serve as vehicles for the articulation of modern ideas, concerns, and cultural trends. The volume thus aims to investigate not only how antiquity on the screen depicts, and in this process distorts, compresses, contests, and revises, antiquity on the page but also, more crucially, why the medium follows such eclectic representational strategies vis-a-vis the classical world. ; Classical Presences; 400 pages

Bilingual Edition (Greek/English). The lecture entitled "Ancient Olympic Games and Coinage" was given in 2004 on the occasion of the return of the Olympic Games to Greece. Now published, it provides an interesting record of this sacred institution as well as of the ancient site of Olympia. In parallel with the testimony provided by excavations, literary sources and inscriptions, the coins of Elis, ranked among the most beautiful of the ancient world, provide valuable information on this supreme institution. The coinage of Elis, the city that used to host the Olympic Games, in tandem with the coins of other minting authorities featuring illustrations of the Games, provide a wider understanding of the religious, economic, political and artistic dimensions of the ancient Olympic Games. ; Lectures on the History of Coinage- 5; 108 pages
