Modern cinematic myths include Xena, The X-files (does anybody care anymore?), 2001, Blade Runner, Star Wars, Alien, Evangelion, The Ghost in the Shell, Princess Mononoke... the list goes on. Less contemporary material of relevance includes Homer and Ovid, and of course the multitides of Arthurian legends and the modern fantasy novel after Tolkien. |
