The result is an in-depth study that examines the influence ancient Greek mythology has on popular culture and, reversely, how modern media shapes contemporary views of the ancient Mediterranean world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIntroduced to the world via Sensation Comics in 1941, Wonder Woman remains one of the most identifiable superheroes today, and her narratives, which frequently involve love, inclusion and empathy, continue to speak to readers and viewers around the world. Engaging with her long and complex past, the chapters examine the history of this influential character and her associates, alongside her relevance within the field of classical reception and her gender identity. As such, this book presents Wonder Woman as the complex heroine that she is, and one who has both influenced and been influenced by our understanding of the ancient world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmanda Potter \u003c\/b\u003eis Visiting Fellow in Classics at the University of Liverpool, UK.
