Oh! How refreshing... a movie on Ancient Greece where the actors DON'T have British accents.

Τέτοιες ταινίες πού τις έχει θάψει η τηλεόραση; Όλο Αμερικανιές που προσπαθούν να αναπαραστήσουν την ελληνική ιστορία μας δείχνουνε.

@hornosu What's her name?

[GrlLeastLikelyTo]

@MegaPINELOPI It sounds lovely but... if you're a mother naming your son... it's not the most auspicious name ever.

[MegaPINELOPI]

@MegaPINELOPI In greek at least

[MegaPINELOPI]

@GrlLeastLikelyTo This is an amazing sexy name

Η ιφιγένεια εν αυλίδι είναι αρχαία ελληνική τραγωδία. Δεν μπορεί να θεωρηθεί ιστορικό γεγονός. Οι τραγωδοί αντλούσαν υλικό απο τους μυθολογικούς κύκλούς ( ατρειδών κ.α) Δεν μιλάμε λοιπόν για ελληνική ιστορία αλλά για μυθολογία με ιστορικές βάσεις- μυθολογικά πρόσωπα όπως ο αγαμέμνων κλπ. υπήρξαν, τρωικός πόλεμος έγινε ΄κλπ

@GrlLeastLikelyTo first name? that's horrible! i think it's okay to do whatever you want with the kid's middle name. why do people feel the need to give their children ridiculous first names too?

[GrlLeastLikelyTo]

@001hinata001 I know a guy whose name is Orestes... what mother would name her son that?! XD

[hornosu]

I was so much in love with the actress who played Iphigenia...

[hornosu]

I cry each and everfy time I see this scene. And it's been 30 years.

[jegspillerpiano]

so this was made in 1977? It is more realistic than any modern hollywood shit like Troy or Clash of the Titans. Watching this I could actually believe I am there in ancient Greece, witnessing the real people of the time. That should be the role of any historical movie or book.
