Many computer games, including some of the most popular ones, thrive on the
cultural heritage of Antiquity. By exploring computer games in classical
studies and the classical legacy of ancient Greece and Rome in computer
games, Greek and Roman Games in the Computer Age reflects this complex
symbiosis, which has so far been largely neglected in the humanities. The
present volume includes established names as well as younger scholars, who
all shed new light on important issues that arise from the increasingly
tighter bond between digital media and the heritage of the ancient
Mediterranean. Greek and Roman Games in the Computer Age is the first
scholarly study that in its entirety is dedicated to classical studies and
computer games, though it will hardly be the last.
