Stacker believes in making the world’s data more accessible through You may also like: Steven Spielberg films ranked from worst to first Check out these films if you want to get a (mostly fictionalized) taste of what it was like to live in ancient times. To qualify, the movie had to have at least 1,000 votes on IMDb. The films run the gamut from Oscar-winning dramas to goofy comedies to the first wave of B horror flicks and span countries and decades. Eras otherwise lost to the sands of time can be resurrected to the big screen.įor this list, Stacker dove into film history and compiled data on 50 films set in ancient times, which spans from the beginning of human history to the fall of the Roman Empire in the fifth century. While these films may not always be historically accurate representations (many films in ancient worlds feature the fantasy and mythology of the era), and they often take great artistic liberties, it’s still interesting to see artists blend fact and fiction to render time periods such as ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, prehistoric eras, and biblical times. With our desires as a voyeuristic audience, it’s fascinating to see ancient lands and people replicated to the best of artistic and filmmaking ability on screen and in different genres. Atlas did this, but Hercules simply walked away with the apples.The magic of movies lies in their ability to transport you to any world, real or imaginary, for a brief window of time. Hercules then tricked Atlas again and asked him to hold up the world while he tried to make himself more comfortable. Atlas gratefully agreed, but upon returning with the apples, he told Hercules he had no intention of taking the world back upon his shoulders. In order to gain the apples, however, he convinced the titan Atlas to retrieve the apples while he held up the world for him in his place. In one version told by the Perseus Project, Hercules first quested to find the garden until he finally located it. This labor, like many of the others, has multiple versions. These apples were kept in the far north and guarded by a multi-headed dragon named Ladon, as well as magical nymphs called the Hesperides. According to " Encyclopedia of Mythological Objects," these apples had been given to Hera as a wedding gift by Gaia and conferred immortality. His next assignment was to go and harvest the golden apples from the gardens of Hesperides. However, Hercules shot the monster with an arrow that had been poisoned with the bile of the Hydra.
Hercules nabbed the cattle, but before he could escape, Geryon came at him in full armor. Hercules clubbed the dog to death and dispatched the herder Eurytion in the same manner. When Hercules arrived on Erytheia, he was attacked by the two-headed dog Orthus. Helios, admiring Hercules' cheek, gifted him with a magical golden cup which he used to help him cross the seas. In frustration with the heat, the hero shot an arrow at Helios, the Sun itself. The American Journal of Educational Research describes how Hercules crossed the deserts of northern Africa.
These cattle were guarded by Geryon, a three-headed monster who was the grandson of Medusa. According to " Dragon: Fear and Power," these gorgeous red cattle lived far in the Western Mediterranean, upon the island of Erytheia, which was viewed by the Greeks as the end of the world. For the tenth labor, Eurystheus directed Hercules to bring to him the Cattle of Geryon.
