Summary

Designed specifically to accompany Introduction to Mythology, Fourth Edition, Now Playing: Learning Mythology Through Film uses a mass medium that is interactive, familiar, and easily accessible to illustrate how mythological concepts play out in a variety of situations.

Integrating clips and descriptions from thirty-eight films and television episodes, this vibrant resource includes both classics and recently released material. With Now Playing, your students will learn about the mythological concepts presented in such films as The Wizard of Oz (1939), Oedipus Rex (1967), The Matrix (1999), Serenity (2005), and Clash of the Titans (2010). This edition features two new feature films, Stargate (1994) and The King of Masks (1996), and three new TV episodes, from Daniel Boone (1970), Once Upon a Time (2012), and Marvel's Agents of Shield (2014). Each entry includes details about the mythological concepts featured within the film or TV episode, a brief synopsis and questions for discussion or written homework assignments.
