Pairing Books with Movies: Greek Week Edition

Friday, March 29, 2013

  
There are dozens of films dealing with Greek gods and history. They range from an actual cartoon (Hercules) to cartoonishly bad movies (Clash of the Titans circa 1981). They tend to be on the epic side, but some embrace quieter stories. Here are a few that came to mind. Each would go well with any of the books I reviewed this week!

Troy (2004) / Hercules (1997) / 300 (2006)



 Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010) / 
Clash of the Titans (1981 and 2010)



The Odyssey (1997) miniseries / Helen of Troy (2003) / Alexander (2004)

Are there any big ones I missed?
