Ancient Greece in Film and Popular Culture (Revised second edition) by Gideon Nisbet
The history of Greece in the twentieth-century imagination from film to science fiction and comics traced through popular and little-known examples.
… the time is ripe for turning scholarly (and student) attention to what Greece means in modern popular culture (and why)Gideon Nisbet’s book, part of Bristol Phoenix Press’s Greece and Rome Live series, serves as a brief but punchy account of the topic, and will be of considerable value to a wide audience. … this book should be of as much interest to those working in reception study, and classics and ancient history more generally, as it is to students and teachers at whom it is notionally aimed.

It is well suited to sparking discussion among undergraduates as well as introducing new perspectives to scholars. Course logistics permitting, I think it would be especially useful in combination with other recent studies as a stimulating introduction to the current scholarly conversation on Classics, media, and popular culture.
