The chap with the pilos helmet is marked as a Plataean Hoplite. Is the shield emblem Thespian? And would you class his shield, which is distinctly oval, as Boeotian, or a dipylon?
I think, Arthes, that the Thespian, with his Corinthian down, looks a lot like me.
There seem to be two films in production; "300", based on someone's "Graphic Novel" and "Gates of Fire" based on a proper novel (Oops! Am I guilty of a little intellectual snobbery?). I heard some time ago, that the latter was due out in August this year. Personally, I wouldn't cast Willis or Clooney. I wonder what George Chakiris is doing these days? (and how old he is, now!) He had a much better title to the epithet "Gorgeous" than Clooney could dream of (I'm sure he only gets called it because it assonates with his first name) and looks a bit Greek to me.
