VERANO, Rodrigo. Who Has the Right to Be Achilles? The Greek Hero in the Global Context. UH [online]. 2023, n.297  Epub 20-Jun-2023. ISSN 0253-9276.

This text is a critical reflection on the controversy surrounding the fact that the character of Achilles, in the BBC series Troy: Fall of a City, has been played by the black actor David Gyasi. Based on this controversy, some ideas deeply rooted in the conception of classical studies as a discipline are reviewed and criticized by examining some ideas displayed in two very important texts, Jaeger's Paideia and Highet's The Classical Tradition.
