In the earliest and most authoritative sources, especially Iliad and later Greek literature, Achilles is consistently described with the following attributes:The greatest Greek warrior - unmatched in battle.Swift-footed (podas okus) - his most famous Homeric epithet.Son of a goddess - born to Thetis and the mortal Peleus.Nearly invincible - although the famous "Achilles' heel" story appears in later tradition, not in Homer.Extraordinarily strong - capable of feats beyond ordinary men.Exceptionally fast - both in running and on the battlefield.Brave and fearless - willingly faces overwhelming danger.Wrathful - his anger (mēnis) is the central theme of the Iliad.Proud and honor-conscious - deeply concerned with glory (kleos) and personal honor (timē).Loyal friend - especially devoted to Patroclus.Compassionate when moved - shown in his treatment of Priam near the end of the Iliad.Handsome - frequently described as exceptionally beautiful.Golden-haired or fair-haired - a common description in later Greek tradition.Musically gifted - plays the lyre and sings heroic songs in the Iliad.Highly intelligent - capable of strategic thought, not merely brute force.Destined for a short, glorious life - chooses everlasting fame over a long, obscure life.Leader of the Myrmidons - commands the elite warriors from Phthia.Bearer of divine armor - the armor forged by Hephaestus is among the most famous objects in Greek mythology.In Homer's Iliad, the epithets most frequently attached to Achilles include:Swift-footed AchillesBrilliant AchillesGodlike AchillesLion-hearted AchillesPeer of Ares (in martial prowess)There is no single canonical physical description of Achilles in the ancient sources. Homer refers to his "ξανθός" (xanthos), a word commonly translated as fair-haired, golden-haired, or blond.I like how Elliot Page completely erased Elliot Rodger from the web.
Fuck man what happened to this board
>>221816032Page isn't playing Achilles
>>221816129Nolan absolutely buck broke /tv/. Love to see it.
>>221816129It became kino.
>>221816032No Xochitl no watch
>>221816199No one is playing Achilles.https://www.imdb.com/title/tt33764258/fullcredits/
>>221816269>>221816199Page is taking Achilles's part in Hades. It's the centra episode of the epic.They also completely fucked up discovery of the horse. It was meant as end of war act. But they have Trojans kill Page people to get it. It makes no sense at all, really. Too much coke up Nolans nose, I presume.
>>221817430Sinon does not appear in Homer's Odyssey and has only a very minor role outside Homer; his most famous account is found in Aeneid, where he recounts his deception to the Trojans. Nolan appears to have expanded Sinon's role to strengthen the connection between the fall of Troy and Odysseus's long journey home.
>>221817430Achilles saying he'd rather be a slave among the living than a king in the underworld probably hits harder than it coming from Sinon
>>221817817>strengthen the connection between the fall of Troy and Odysseus's long journey homelolwut, that was something someone thought was neccessary?
>>221817853Americans see themselves as the new Roman empire. for better or worse
>>221817817>AneidWhich is a Roman epic. Written from the perspective of Trojans. Romans retconned themselves to be descendants of Trojans.I honestly think that the movie had countless reshoots, and that this whole mess of a story is consequence of that.
>>221816199>Receive titanic backlash about Page playing Achilles>Panic>Use AI to dub the movie so every instance of "Achilles" is replaced with "Sinon"We did it, boys! We saved the Odyssey!
>>221818254very predictable chud cope
>>221816199he is and it's a brave, beautiful performance of subversive genius
>>221818520No, she's playing some dude named Sinon or some shit
>>221816129Angry closeted homosexual from the third world got ran off Redd@tLupita is no longer atttractive them and they are stuck asking questions and being negative It’s bad. I have no idea why it’s this bad. Maybe a crack down. Lots of brown Asians and mods running saying racist shit as well.
>>221816032Page is not playing Achilles in the film, making this entire thread absolutely pointless.
>>221818254You didn't even believe this as you were typing it.
>>221818254>Use AI to dub the movie so every instance of "Achilles" is replaced with "Sinon"They didn't need to use AI. It's shot on imax cameras, they're submachine loud. Everything gets dubed.
>>221818520There's no Achilles in this version, stitchtits is playing some random dude named Sinon who takes his place in the story.
