CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHRIDGE An Influence of Mythology on Popular Culture A graduate project submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Arts In History By Carlo Nunneri May 2020 Copyright by Carlo Nunneri 2020 ii The graduate project of Carlo Nunneri is approved: ____________________________________ _____________________ Dr. Jeffrey Auerbach Date ____________________________________ _____________________ Dr. Richard Horowitz Date ____________________________________ ____________________ Dr. Miriam Neirick, Chair Date California State University, Northridge iii Table of Contents Signature Page . iii Abstract . v iv Abstract The Influence of Mythology on Popular Culture By Carlo Nunneri Master of Arts In History In accordance with university regulations, the following is an abstract of my culminating experience project, which serves as the final requirement towards the completion of a Masters of Arts Degree in History. While the following abstract summarizes my project’s scholarly contribution, research questions, methods and conclusions, the final project is archived in the Department of History at California State University, Northridge. Mythology has been used for millennia as a means of storytelling. Whether it was for entertainment or for educational purposes, mythology has permeated civilization. Joseph Campbell conducted extensive research into the longevity of mythology and its v universality, but why is it still so prevalent today in popular culture? Hercules is one of the most recognizable mythological figures, at least in western societies, and he still has a strong presence in popular culture today. By peering into some uses of Hercules in popular culture from Victorian England’s Punch Magazine and modern popular culture such as the video game God of War III and the Disney film Hercules, it is possible to identify and analyze the methods used to adapt this character. -

A Structural Approach to God of War, a Video Game by Santa Monica
International Journal on Studies in English Language and Literature (IJSELL) Volume 3, Issue 7, July 2015, PP 5-15 ISSN 2347-3126 (Print) & ISSN 2347-3134 (Online) www.arcjournals.org A Structural Approach to God of War, a Video Game by Santa Monica Eyvazi, Mojgan Assistant professor, English Department Payame Noor University, Tehran. Iran [email protected] Alaeddini, Mohammad Ali Nickfam, Ramtin Assistant professor, English Department M.A. in English literature Payame Noor University, Tehran. Iran Payame Noor University. Tehran. Iran [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: Every literary narrative (or any form of art) follows some rules or structures that beside its mode of narration are common in all literary forms. In this research, it has been tried to demonstrate another mode of narration and depicting theories of Northrop Frye and Vladimir Propp’s structuralism in a video game named God of War. In this regard, after a very short introduction on structural school, and a short explanation on each of these theories, those structures will be represented in the video game. Frye’s notion of genre analysis will be applied on GOW with a summarized introduction; and then for structure of narrative present study uses Propp’s category of structures. His theory does not include only the narratemes in the story, but in fact beside 31 narratemes, there are still five categories of elements, plus seven character types. The result clearly indicated that video games have the capacity to be analyzed from structural point of view and also these structures were common on genre, characters and elements, too. -

The Secrets of Pangaea Paintings by James Waller
THE SECRETS OF PANGAEA PAINTINGS BY JAMES WALLER THE SECRETS OF PANGAEA PAINTINGS BY JAMES WALLER THE LOFT GALLERY CLONAKILTY 5 JULY - 4 AUGUST 2018 ORIGIN AND MYTH The Secrets of Pangaea is essentially an exploration of the figure in the landscape and marks James Waller’s first foray into large-scale narrative oil painting, a journey inspired, in large part by the Norwegian master Odd Nerdrum, whom he stud- ied with in August and September 2017. The series revolves around two major compositions, The Children of Lir and The Secrets of Pangaea, and includes smaller works created whilst studying in Norway. The starting points for the major compositions are found in Greek and Irish mythology and include figures in states of both dramatic tension and Arcadian repose. The Secrets of Pangaea recalls the Tahitian paintings of Paul Gauguin, Waller’s first love as a young painter. The brooding sense of melancholy and langour, and the playing of music are symbiotic with Gauguin’s world. The approach to tone and colour, however, are very much informed by his immersion in Odd Nerdrum’s work and the Classical figurative approach. Several other pieces, such as Boy and Moon, Reverie and The Song of Pan- gaea are either derived from or studies for Secrets. Where Secrets only tangentially references Greek figures such as Pan and the Mino- taur, The Children of Lir explicitly references the famous Irish tale of the same name. It does not attempt to illustrate the story, but rather presents both bird and human form together, the human figures in a state of transformative tension, the swans in a state of lateral collapse (death?) and purposeful movement. -
