What does '2001: a Space Odyssey' have to do with Odysseus? How does Brad Pitt's Achilles in 'Troy' match up to Homer's original hero? And is Arnold Schwarzenegger the new Heracles? This collection of video animations and audio discussions examines how the heroes of Greek mythology have been represented in popular culture, from ancient times to the modern day. Odysseus is the archetypal questing hero - a blank canvas on which every era has projected its own values. Heracles is the original strongman. And Achilles is the fighter whose sexuality vies with his heel for popular attention. The videos mix archive film and TV clips with character animation, bringing a playful approach to classical myth, while the audio discussions shine a more scholarly light on how today's popular culture sees these myths differently from the Ancient Greeks.

The Ensemble Musica Romana is bringing sounds of times long past to life again. By research of ancient music and reconstruction of ancient instruments they successfully revive archaic sounds and forgotten melodies. 

Portraits such as these are some of the most poignant surviving artifacts from around the time of, but not beyond, the 3rd century, in which the dead, such as they were, were painted and immortalized on planks of wood or other surfaces which sometimes covered the face of their mummy. It is generally accepted that this style of portrait was in vogue in the Greek colonies within Egypt, which gradually phased out with political, religious, and economic change. It is a fascinating spotlight in that period of Egypt's history, where the clear separation between the Greek and Egyptian portraits began to mingle and reveal citizens of mixed ancestry, combining Greek and Egyptian features in their faces.

Αρχαία Ελληνική (Ancient Greek): λόγος ἀρχαίος, ἀεὶ ἀληθής. οὐκέτι φίλους αἵρει ὁ ἵμερος πάσιν ἀφανής  ἀλλάγη μίκρα, ὀλίγην φαίη, δέος καὶ φιλία, τέρας σὺν καλῇ, αὕτη ἔσθ' ἡ ζωή ἀεὶ ταὔτ' ἐστίν, ἀεὶ θαυμαστά, ἀεί ὡς παλαιά, ἀεὶ βέβαια ὡσπὲρ ἡλίος  λόγον ἀρχαίον ᾅσεθ' ἡ θέα. πάνθ' ἃ ἐφιστῇς μάλιστ' ἀλλάξει ὄντως μάγευμα ὡς ὁ ἡλίος ὕψιλος φαίνει, λόγος ἀρχαίος, τό πρώτον μέλος, τέρας σύν καλῇ English Ancient tale, always true. Not yet friends, longing seizes them, unseen by all. A small change, one might say little. Fear and friendship, the beast with the beauty, this is life. It is always the same, always wonderful, always as before, always sure as the sun The goddess will sing the ancient tale. True magic will change all you know. As the sun appears above, ancient tale, the first song, the beast with the beauty.

Una nueva herramienta online desarrollada por un equipo de historiadores y especialistas en tecnología de la información de la Universidad de Stanford muestra cuán largo y costoso era enviar a la gente y el trigo entre las ciudades del Imperio Romano. Se trata de ORBIS, "el Google Maps del mundo antiguo", como es presentada en la web. Una aplicación que muestra las rutas posibles entre ciudades antiguas sobre la base de las condiciones de hace 2.000 años. Un mapa puede mostrar la distancia entre dos ciudades, pero en un mundo de barcos de vela y carros tirados por burros el camino más corto no era el que necesariamente usaría la gente. Para informar de los cálculos, el equipo de ORBIS ha hecho uso de mapas y documentos antiguos, de mediciones meteorológicas de hoy en día y de los experimentos de los historiadores al tratar de navegar en barcos de estilo romano. ORBIS puede ayudar a los historiadores a calcular el tiempo y el coste del tráfico de personas y mercancías durante el Imperio Romano. Los investigadores pueden utilizar esta herramienta, por ejemplo, para averiguar si era frecuente el comercio entre dos ciudades o para comprobar si alguien que fuera visto en una ciudad en enero podría haber llegado a otra ciudad en marzo. Por curiosidad he hecho el cálculo del tiempo que habría tardado un jinete en cubrir la distancia que separaba Roma de Emerita Augusta: No menos de 41 días.
