>>Homer has Trojans speaking Greek,<br>
<br>
Ah, that's where I got the idea that the Trojans spoke Greek. I'm such a blonde sometimes.<br>
<br>
> just as TROY has Greeks and Trojans speaking English (though there are some interesting background chatter as the Greeks land on the beach, with orders being relayed in both ancient and modern Greek dialects).<br>
<br>
I thought Troy wasn't trying to be historically accurate. I certainly didn't see all the "period hype" around this movie that I did with Gladiator, which really seem to play up the historical research.<br>
