Curses, beaten to the punch of adding the Doctor Who cite! ——The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cyclades (talk • contribs) 22:13, March 12, 2006 (UTC)

If you look at my contributions, you might get a hint of why I was quick to list the Doctor Who story... :) —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 02:25, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] move?

Movies and television are often fictional, but they're not what the word "fiction" makes me think of, still less some of the poetry that ought to be on this list. Any objection if I move to Trojan War in art or Trojan War in art and literature? --Akhilleus (talk) 05:10, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

No objections, but poetry about god & goddess intervening in a war is certainly fiction.

"Fiction" generally means prose, not poetry, at least when used to describe genres of literature. --Akhilleus (talk) 04:45, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Generally. Usually. Not always, and not exclusively.

[edit] Related category Category:Trojan War literature

I've been expanding Category:Trojan War literature. As all the Epic Cycle, including the Nostoi and Telegony, were included, I've opted for a broad interpretation on ancient literature and have included material on the aftermath including, for example, Iphigenia in Tauris. I'm about to start a thread over there on whether this is appropriate. The other issue is that here we've included modern material, whilst there the focus is on ancient and medieval. So again you're invited to discuss the scope over there.--Peter cohen (talk) 13:04, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Art

We need to set up a section on the Trojan War in the fine arts. I suggest we initially try and idetify objects with their own articles--Peter cohen (talk) 10:31, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
