There are not many websites that already cover this kind of information, and honestly the idea to use this as my final project topic came from Classics friends of mine and I often saying that such a thing should exist. Searching on the Internet led to several courses that cover this kind of material from an academic standpoint, but do not provide much information to the general public.

Some examples are:

The Ancient World in Film and Popular Culture (From the University of Warwick)

Ancient Rome in Film and Fact (University of Florida)

One general page I found that covers Classical material in popular culture is the Classics Pages News and Gossip About the Ancient World. This is a user-built site not affiliate with any institution so the accuracy of its information could be questionable. I thought that this site provided good snippets of information on this topic, but was more general and brief in its coverage. Berkeley's library also provides this list of films, Ancient Greece and Rome: Movies and Dramatizations but there is little in terms of in-depth review or analysis. It does provide links to the Internet Movie Database but does not include any review or evaluation of these items.

With my website I hope to include more information about specific films/books rather than a general overview. I am aiming for in depth coverage of a few items rather than comprehensive lists.
