@Thagros If you nose about on the net a little it is pretty easy to find reliable accounts. For instance, the skeletons of English longbowmen recovered from the Mary Rose showed extreme asymmetry caused by training starting when they were young (around 7 years) boys. These men could shoot a 120 pound bow all day. Or find some accounts of Zulu warrior training. Probably the finest conditioned soldiers ever and complete nutters.

I replayed this scene in the movie many times myself, how Achilles starts off slow jog, then speeds up throwing off the timing of the second spear then springs off the left foot up sticking the blade down into the lung & heart through the soft spot opening...perfection.

Why does a sword pulled out of a leather sheath make a metallic sound?

@Thagros I'm not an anthropologist but I'm just stating general facts. As technology progressed we had to do less hard labor and things became easier.

@thecloakandblade Oh, I agree, you're probably right man. I just wondered what historical evidence we're basing this assumption on. I assume that anyone who could call themselves a warrior was built as fuck back then. Then again, what do we know about their training regimes? What do their remains tell us about their skeletal structure? Wanted to know if you had any backup on that. Cheers.

@plyinglemon Again, I'm being called out on nothing.

@nasengori27 Every depiction of achilles whether it be painting or statue does not show him as pretty boy Brad Pitt scrawnesque. Yes, we have found evidence as to how they fought. I don't know if you want me to do your hw for you and link you to some specific museum or book but there are those who have dedicated their lives to studying this era. I love war movies but this one was just bad. The only good things about this were the actors from Braveheart.

@thecloakandblade @fakejohnwilkesbooth and as for his appearance...look up Wrath of Achilles on whichever web browser you prefer and you'll see that the Depiction of him in that picture is pretty close to Brad Pitts Physique
Lord of the rings still have the best war-scenes ever. imo atleast :p
