Spartans at Adrianople in 378 AD?

[Idomeneas]

On the contrary i remember a french documentary were a greek actor recited homer in the original text and it was striking! the language had flow and a melodic sense.

That sounds like the one to me. I really liked it.

i cant recall the name of the series but it was about armies from mycenian to medieval era. It had reconstructions, draws and many interviews. That episode had an interview of Conolly where he is seen drawing one of his Trojan war pictures. Its old series perhaps 70's.
