Delve into the enduring legacy of classical antiquity as it permeates history, comics, and modern society. Blending art, literature, music, and media, the narrative spotlights Denmark’s unique reinterpretation of ancient themes—from Roman echoes to revived Greek myths—that sustains timeless cultural dialogue.

Taking as its point of departure the astounding longevity and ubiquity in our culture of so many themes, genres, visual forms and personalities from the ancient Greek and Roman world, this volume focuses on popular receptions of Classical Antiquity. In doing so, it will explore specific receptions that make immediate sense in a ‘present’ and among large, popular audiences. In particular, it will focus on three main themes: the reception of Classical Antiquity in Danish popular culture, in popular European music, as well as the popular reception of individual lives in both antiquity and later periods.

Christian Thrue Djurslev is associate professor in classical philology at Aarhus University. Vinnie Nørskov is associate professor in museology and museum director at the Museum of Ancient Art and Archaeology at Aarhus University.
