We shall look at how the Grand Tours of Europe by aristocrats and social climbers of the eighteenth century were enacted by stars as they travelled abroad and associated themselves with the physical sites of the past, conducted their fans on vicarious travels in geographical as well as by imaginative Introduction: Olympus Moves to Hollywood 23 means through the symbolism of the star body. From looking at the star in the locales of modern Europe we then turn to a case-study of the production of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ (Fred Niblo, 1925), which places rising star Ramon Novarro into cinematic antiquity itself.
79 The radiantly coherent idea of the classical form is thus but a fleeting impression, as if through the persistence of vision of cultural repetition alone its ‘universal’ authority belies any one of its images viewed up close. 80 Carden-Coyne notes that the mass ruin visited upon the bodies of servicemen during the war lead to a suspicion of the notion of physical wholeness. ‘Embodiment had become trickery, an illusion’, she notes’, leading to a ‘post-war obsession: the presence and absence of the human body’.

However, rather than obscure the mythic value, Jackson seeks to emphasise it by substituting the pagan value system for a more generalised Christian one. What is most striking when reading his verse is the way Hunt Jackson makes allusions to contemporary music and theatre to ‘re-form’ the classic in often strikingly proto-cinematic allusions to light and projected fantasies, in this year when cinema saw its first public exhibitions.
