VIDEO GAMES AND MYTHOLOGY: THE POETICS OF THE IMAGINARY AND OF GREEK MYTHS IN VIDEO GAMES
Updated: Sep 17
Flávia Gasi
Portuguese Edition English Edition
This book examines how video game narratives and mechanics are created—and how that creative process connects to mythology, with a focus on legends from Classical Greece. Alongside its theoretical foundations, including the concept of the “Imaginary” (imaginário), it analyzes God of War, BioShock, and Eternal Sonata, each representing a different aspect of the imaginary explored in the study.
