Like this picture of Brad Pitt as Achilles from the movie Troy, for instance.That movie was not really all that great, but I have to admit that when Brad came out, guns a-blazing, I immediately sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, "Helloooooooo, Achilles."
My husband, who has some guns of his own, rolled his eyes. Although he doesn't have a suit of armor like that, complete with the nifty feathered thing on a helmet. Or a crossbow and chariot.

I don't seem to find this picture of Achilles with Patrocles - Achilles is on the right, you'll know him by the fancy hat - nearly as interesting, I'm afraid. I mean, look at the arms on that anciently rendered Achilles. Please.
All I have to say is that writing these HISTO Ancient Greece questions and doing all the research that goes with them is a tough job, but someone has to do it. You just go ahead and grab a Diet Coke and put your feet up. I'm going to sit here awhile droo....I mean, researching. Ancient Greece, yes. Shut up.
