Description
The sword-and-sandal film genre has long been known for its emphasis on the male body. This is reflected in the iconic image of the hero, often depicted with a phallic sword and traditional attire that accentuates his physique. Each essay in this collection examines the themes of masculinity and utility that are central to the sword-and-sandal genre. The contributors offer insightful analysis of a film form that frequently showcases its male protagonists as heroic, violent, and physically imposing. By exploring these issues, the essays provide a nuanced understanding of the sword-and-sandal genre and its enduring appeal.
