The film adaptation as an incentive for reading the classic works. The Troy case

Array

Abstract

Cinema is one of the basic pillars of today's media and technology society. Its beginnings, at the end of the 19th century, marked the beginning of a new era in the development of contemporary art. This research aims to analyze how the film Troy, a film adaptation of the Iliad, can encourage students to read the Homeric work. It is presented as a different educational resource in which both the literary text and the cinematographic text dialogue, and from which a fresh and contemporary product closer to young people results. It is not intended to be an assessment of adaptation, but rather a proposal for Greek Literature I classes.
