[[folder: Comics ]]

* The Bronze Age world of ''{{ComicBook/Slaine}}'' combines Sandal Punk with StonePunk.

* ''{{Franchise/Asterix}}'': Modern appliances are often recreated with BambooTechnology. For instance, chariots are treated exactly like cars, including tow trucks or mail vans versions of them. Or internal communications in an enterprise is recreated with slaves, waiting in desks to hear messages, then rush to repeat them.

[[folder: Film ]]
* ''Film/ThreeHundred'' with its Persian ninjas, giant warriors and grenade throwing wizards.
* Lou Ferrigno's ''{{Film/Hercules|1983}}'' battles giant extraterrestial robots.
* Harryhausen's ''Film/JasonAndTheArgonauts'' and ''Film/{{Clash of the Titans|1981}}'' are set in a version of Greece where fantasy monsters are real. A few are even mechanical (a colossus in the former, an owl in the latter).

* The Atlanteans from ''WesternAnimation/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'' are depicted as possessing technology and science far more advanced than anything recorded in history including laser-spewing hovercrafts, floating monuments, crystals that grant healing and advanced longevity, hyper-awareness of languages created millenia after their own, and massive machines. All this while still possessing tribalistic characteristics such as a hunter/gatherer style of living.
* The Bible punk movies Film/KingDavid, Film/{{Noah}} and Film/TheScorpionKing transplant classic sandal punk themes to the Bronze Age Middle East.

[[folder: Literature ]]
* Literature/ConanTheBarbarian fought in the Aesir-Vanir war, has trouble with evil wizards from an Egyptian inspired civilisation, and sometimes has dealings with "Shemitic" merchants from the Sodom-inspired city of Shadizar.
* Those historical novels by Creator/MaryRenault which are set in ancient Greece.
* The Machined Hearts series by Matt Dawson which is set in a world based on European antiquity. A fusion of SwordAndSandal, {{Magitek}}, with a dash of RidiculouslyHumanRobots.
* The Literature/PercyJackson books often feature advanced divine technology; celestial bronze automatons, weapons and shields that can fold up or have other advanced features, or modern technology like laptops that are magically enhanced and applied to the problems of ancient Greek myth.

[[folder: Live-Action TV ]]

* An episode of ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' called "Bread and Circuses" focused on a parallel Earth discovered in another star system which was home to a [[PlanetOfHats modern-day Roman Empire]] with mid-20th century technology and media-driven popular culture with gladiator fights being both a part of the modern slavery institution as well as a professional sport.
* The ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode "The Fires of Pompeii," set in that city right before the famous volcanic eruption that destroyed it, had elements of this, particularly its depiction of Roman religion.
* ''Series/{{Plebs}}'', a sitcom set in ancient Rome that is pretty much ''Series/TheInbetweeners'' meets ''Series/UpPompeii''.

[[folder: Webcomics ]]
* ''{{Webcomic/Vattu}}'' is set in a vaguely Iron Age setting, populated by a number of non-human races. Sahta, for instance, is a pretty clear FantasyCounterpartCulture to UsefulNotes/TheGloryThatWasRome.

[[folder: Western Animation ]]
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'' is a midquel series to the Disney movie mentioned above, and is also set in a [[{{Disneyfication}} Disneyfied]] version of Ancient Greece. It has time to explore the world around Hercules further than what the movie could ever do, and features a GadgeteerGenius father-son duo as part of its cast.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheRomanHolidays'': a Flintstone style sitcom of the genre.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheStoryKeepers'': an action-packed series about the persecuted early Christians.

* Franchise/WonderWoman's island home of Themyscira has traditionally fallen under this trope; a utopian society of ancient Greek immortals who mix ancient religion with advanced discoveries. As originally concieved, Wonder Woman was created by the gods, trained in super-advanced martial arts and telepathy, and weilded a mixture of magical tools (like the her bracelet and lassoo) and technological ones (like her invisible plane and the purple healing ray.) As time has gone on, the "ancient Greek" stuff has gotten more and more emphasized and the other stuff has increasingly fallen by the wayside.

* Istan, the [[FirstTown first area]] of the second ExpansionPackWorld of ''VideoGame/GuildWars'', mixes up AncientEgypt, AncientRome and a dash of DarkestAfrica.

* ''VideoGame/AgeOfMythology'', featuring not only Greece, but Egypt and Scandinavia too.
