The accents in Oliver Stone's Alexander are also most peculiar. They vary between the lead actor's inability to disguise his Irish brogue and the weird Scots accents heard elsewhere. Apparently Stone reasoned the rough Makedonian patois of Northern/Dorian Greek could best be represented in this fashion! This logic of modelling ancient Greece on the British Isles would give Athenians cockney accents; Spartans west country dialects; Welsh would predominate around Olympia; scouse around Acharnania; with a distinct prevalence of Yorkshireman around Thessaly!!! :lol:
