Exploring the cultural politics of televisual engagements with the history, literature and material culture of ancient Greece Ancient 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 also in relation 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 ten case studies drawn from feature programmes, educational broadcasts, children's animations, 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. Fiona Hobden is Senior Lecturer in Greek Culture at the University of Liverpool. Amanda Wrigley is Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Film, Theatre and Television at the University of Reading.
