Mythology



Watch the movie 300 (2006) and then write a 2-3 page essay in which you address one or more of the questions below. For a 2-3 page paper, you only need to focus on just a few or even one specific scene from the movie.
***Be as specific as possible by giving examples from the film to illustrate and support your points.***
There are a number of movies that have been made in recent years that depict mythology from the ancient world.
Why? Why might stories from ancient myth be popular now?
Is it because their themes are timeless?
Or do we have a simple fascination with the past because it is so different, or perhaps not very different, from our own time?
Do these films and their stories merely become vehicles through which the films’ creators can interject their own views and opinions about more modern concerns?
Do these stories, in spite of their mythological setting, merely reflect the values and beliefs of today’s world?
