Neil Gaiman’s Use of Antiquity in Television Series: American Gods and Calliope by Elżbieta Olechowska, Marta Pszczolińska

“…Curiously, the adaptation of the novel includes more Olympic gods but glosses over the influence of Herodotus. The Sand­man, on the other hand, in its television version, and specifically, in its first season finale episode Calliope, under discussion here, is much less graphic in the scenes of sexual abuse leaving the more drastic images to the imagination of the viewers but at the same time achieving an even more expressive empathy toward the suffering victim and a severe condemnation of the committed outrage. …”
