Does anyone know the proper Latin for the title of the previous entry (homo editoris)? Does anyone read the (Greco-Roman) Classics anymore? I sure don't.
The Classics have been replaced by popular culture. Troy is now a big budget Hollywood set, featuring Brad Pitt's rippling pecs. And the Olympics has become a five-ring circus of melodrama and just-do-it machismo.
So when will we see video games based on the Greek myths? Perhaps we already have (Myst, etc.).
It would be interesting to parse the Classical, the medieval, and the Romantic in modern video games.
