We started the semester by reading Hesiod's Theogony, the Greek version of the creation of the universe. This story included several epic battles between divine forces, one of which was called theTitanomachy - the battle between the Olympic gods and the Titans. This is (kind of) the subject of the classic 1981 film The Clash of the Titans, which engages with several Greek myths and takes as its inspiration the epic battle among the gods.
For this paper, I want you to watch this film (available on course reserves) and critically examine its presentation of Greek myth, Greek gods, and Greek religion in popular media.
Read the Myth of Perseus and the Gorgon Medusa (March, p. 170-175) and Bellerophon and the Chimera (March, p. 175-179)
Watch Clash of the Titans with a critical lens
Production quality of the film aside, watch it and use the following questions as a guide for your analysis:
Does the movie take creative license with the stories, departing from the Hesiodic (or Homeric, or other) versions of the myth? How and in what way?
Are the characteristics and attributes of the gods faithful to the Hesiodic versions?
From the art and architecture we've looked at in class, how accurate is the setting? Are there elements of Greek art and architecture that your recognize? Are there elements that seem strange?
What are elements of the film that may be influenced by modern culture?
Does a more robust knowledge of Greek myth enhance and/or spoil the film?
