hafitalIn case a few of you haven't seen this, go read Troy, in Fifteen Minutes.
Favorite bits are:
PRIAM: Son, despite your stupidness, I approve of Helen, because she is a stone fox. Also, your cousin Briseis is still a virgin priestess. I just thought we should remind everyone of that, because surely you've forgotten in the week that you've been gone.
and
EUDORUS: So basically, fifty Myrmidons are going to run out onto the beach with a frillion Trojan archers watching, and no one's got our back.
ACHILLES: Pretty much.
EUDORUS: You wanna do that turtle thing with our shields?
ACHILLES: Nah, I figure I'll wait until half of us get killed before we do that.
EUDORUS: Oh... okay.

Here is a very good article on the archaeological site of Troy, if anyone is interested in that sort of thing.
