Proceeding from Roland Barthes’ debunking of ”Romans on film” in the now classical collection <em>Mythologies</em> from 1956, this paper attempts to scrutinize certain popular notions about Greek Antiquity as resulting from so-called hypercorrections of the past. A recent exhibition of reconstructed polychrome statues and reliefs from Classical Antiquity (<em>White Lies</em>), and the Hollywood blockbuster movie <em>Troy</em>, are seen as indicative of this hypercorrecting urge. The arguments goes that such versions of the past – while still being symptomatic of an emergent historical consciousness  – suffer from a lacking appreciation of the categories ‘myth’ and ‘history’ in their pre-modern relationship of dynamic complementarity.}, number={33}, journal={Nordlit}, author={Jackson, Peter}, year={2014}, month={Nov.}, pages={77–83} }
