The Tragedy of Hector

That's my alternate title for Troy. I've just returned from seeing it at the DCA in town. Gods, what a movie. I was prepared to hate it or nitpick about differences between the Film and The Illiad but I just didn't care. An immense spectacle of epic proportions! With a cast of thousands (of cgi people and ships)!

I wonder if Sean Bean and Brad Pitt got together and compared notes about getting feathered at the end of a movie. I hope they make a sequel (Homer did) and apply the same production values to The Odyssey

For those of you, like me, who love the ancient myths of the Greeks try Mythweb for fairly cool abridged versions.

Tune in again soon, same Blogg time, same Blogg channel.
