Klassics for Kids: the Reception of Antiquity in Children's
Klassics for Kids: The Reception of Antiquity in Children’s Entertainment Many, if not most, of today’s children will not get their first exposure to the ancient world from an ancient source, or even from a myth compendium like the justly famous D’Aulaire’s Book of Greek Myths. Instead, they are more likely to meet people from Zeus to Caesar in their favorite picture book, Saturday morning cartoon, or PG rated movie. These sources are often what draws people to the Classics in the first place, and even more often provide the foundation of their understanding of the ancient world. Indeed, large numbers of students young and old are shocked to find that Ovid’s Hercules is not the same as the man they knew from Disney movies. Understanding antiquity’s status in the modern world therefore requires us to study the materials that craft the lens through which new generations will see it. This panel hopes to be a first step in that direction. Taking their cue from CAMWS’ recent thought provoking special panels on Classical Reception in Westerns, Sword and Sandal films, and other media, this panel will approach Greece and Rome’s role in children’s entertainment from both scholarly and pedagogical perspectives. The nature and significance of divergences from ancient sources will be discussed, as will strategies to maximize the benefits children’s television, books and films provide to the classroom while minimizing the potential problems they can cause. While this panel will be focused on children’s entertainment generally, the multiform nature of this entertainment provides a vantage point by which to combine multiple genres of reception analysis into a single panel. -

One of the emerging arenas for this is game scoring. Originally the domain of all synth/sample scores, game music now uses full orchestras, along with synth/sample libraries. To gain a feel for this industry, and to help you, the reader, decide if game scoring is something you want to pursue, Film Music Magazine has established an unprecedented panel in print: six top video game composers with varying styles and musical tastes, plus top game composer agent Bob Rice of Four Bars Intertainment. As you read the interviews, it will become quickly apparent that while there are many Let’s pretend that you’ve started a new music school course just for game composers.

Spiritual Odysseys in Children's Television
Spiritual Odysseys in Children’s Television The story of Odysseus’ wanderings is part of North American story telling to the point that it can be classified as modern folklore. (Hardwick 2007). Although other aspects of Homer’s Odyssey, such as the Telemachiad and the Phaeacians, have fallen by the wayside, the dangers, temptations, and adventures that Odysseus encounters on his journey home are interwoven throughout much of children’s literature (Norton 2003, Huck & Kiefer 2004). Unsurprising, visually appealing encounters with sirens, Cyclopes, and sentient whirlpools often appear in children’s television. However, these exciting encounters are only the superficial focus of their stories. Instead, children’s television often transforms the myth of Odysseus’ journey into a journey of personal growth for the shows’ young protagonists. It is not uncommon for televised adaptations of the wanders of Odysseus to relegate Odysseus to a secondary role or outright replace him with a younger character. To give a few examples, Duck Tales’ episode “Homer Sweet Homer” sends Odysseus’s nephew, Homer, to retrace his famous relative’s steps with the help of the McDuck family, and Odie, a descended of Odysseus in Class of the Titans, encounters Calypso, Scylla, and Aeolus in the episode “Odie- sey.” These youthful characters act as stand-ins for the young viewers. As a result, Odysseus becomes older relative or father-figure to the young travelers and an object of inspiration. As the heroes make their journeys, they also struggle with their own personal feelings of weakness, failure, or inferiority and aspire to match Odysseus’ accomplishments. Rather than exploring all instances of this phenomenon, the paper will seek to illuminate the personal growth aspects of Television Odysseys through one example, an episode of Martha Speaks called “Truman and the Deep Blue Sea.” Martha Speaks is a television show aimed at children from ages 4 to 7. -
