Download or read book Responses to Oliver Stone s Alexander written by Paul Cartledge and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2010-01-20 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The charismatic Alexander the Great of Macedon (356–323 B.C.E.) was one of the most successful military commanders in history, conquering Asia Minor, Egypt, Persia, central Asia, and the lands beyond as far as Pakistan and India. Alexander has been, over the course of two millennia since his death at the age of thirty-two, the central figure in histories, legends, songs, novels, biographies, and, most recently, films. In 2004 director Oliver Stone’s epic film Alexander generated a renewed interest in Alexander the Great and his companions, surroundings, and accomplishments, but the critical response to the film offers a fascinating lesson in the contentious dialogue between historiography and modern entertainment. This volume brings together an intriguing mix of leading scholars in Macedonian and Greek history, Persian culture, film studies, classical literature, and archaeology—including some who were advisors for the film—and includes an afterword by Oliver Stone discussing the challenges he faced in putting Alexander’s life on the big screen. The contributors scrutinize Stone’s project from its inception and design to its production and reception, considering such questions as: Can a film about Alexander (and similar figures from history) be both entertaining and historically sound? How do the goals of screenwriters and directors differ from those of historians? How do Alexander’s personal relationships—with his mother Olympias, his wife Roxane, his lover Hephaistion, and others—affect modern perceptions of Alexander? Several of the contributors also explore reasons behind the film’s tepid response at the box office and subsequent controversies.

Download or read book Reflections on the Trojan War written by Art Aeon and published by Aeon Press, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. This book was released on 2018-10-07 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflections on the Trojan War: Confessions of Sacred Human Conscience is a fictional narrative poem in tercet stanzas. It unfolds the imaginary dialogues between the character Homer-Outis, the legendary ancient Greek author of the Odyssey, and the character Odysseus, the protagonist of the Odyssey, about the actual human causes of the enigmatic and tragic Trojan War (rather than its mythical attributions to the ungodly emotions of the Olympian goddesses and gods) in a numinous dream of the great epic poet. It consists of two parts: Book 3: Regrets of Nestor and Odysseus Book 4: Final Revelations of Helen "Reflections on the Trojan War: Confessions of Sacred Human Conscience" is a sequel to "Odysseus and Penelope: Following the Odyssey of Homer." They are the beginning and the middle parts of an imaginary narrative poem: An Odyssey into One's Own Sacred Conscience. [A] Book 3: "Regrets of Nestor and Odysseus" is a sequel to Book 2: "Exile of Odysseus with Penelope" in the preceding narrative poem; "Odysseus and Penelope: Following the Odyssey of Homer." It unfolds imaginary dialogues among the characters, Nestor, Odysseus, and Penelope about (1) the plausible human causes of the Trojan War; (2) what happened during its first nine years; and (3) how Troy was actually sacked in the final tenth year of the War. [B] Book 4: "Final Revelations of Helen" is concerned with the following questions: (4) Why did Paris take a long voyage in a single ship from Troy to Achaea? (5) How did he meet with Helen, residing at Helos, a remote seaport in Sparta? (6) Why did Menelaus allow the alleged abduction of his wife Helen by a friendly foreign visitor Paris (who did not invade Helos with Trojan armada to abduct her)? (7) If Helen did elope with Paris to Troy, what were the actual reasons which impelled her to take such a dangerous, bold, and disgraceful action? The present fictional work attempts to look into the plausible human causes of the Trojan War behind the mythological veils of supernatural, inane, and absurd fables on the ungodly emotions of the Olympian goddesses and gods, conjured up by witless minstrels.
