معرفی
Liz Gloyn is an Associate Professor in Latin Language and Literature at Royal Holloway, University of London. Her work bridges classical antiquity and modern popular culture, focusing on how ancient monsters are reimagined in contemporary media. She is the author of Tracking Classical Monsters in Popular Culture (2019), which analyzes adaptations of figures like Medusa and the Minotaur across film and television. Her research also explores intersections between Latin literature, Roman family structures, and ancient philosophy, including her earlier work The Ethics of the Family in Seneca (2017).
Her academic contributions emphasize the enduring cultural resonance of classical monsters, examining their roles in gender studies, genre dynamics, and spatial narratives. Gloyn’s interdisciplinary approach spans film analysis—from Ray Harryhausen’s stop-motion classics to TV series like Xena: Warrior Princess—highlighting how ancient mythologies continue to shape modern storytelling.
