One more note on epic film books:
Apart from the ones already mentioned, I also have "Epic! History on the Big Screen" by Baid Searles (nice, big coffee table type book, great pictures, but not only ancient, also newer history) . I also have one more that hasn't been mentioned, I think, "The Hollywood Epic" by Foster Hirsch. By the way, there is a new edition of Jon Solomon's book out (check Amazon), I think it was released two years ago. Not a total rewrite, but some things are changed and it includes newer movies such as "Gladiator". And it's paperback, so it's a lot cheaper than the original hard cover volume (although that one is still one of my all-time favorite books, a feeling from when I was a kid and got it for Christmas).
