  The 5 movies from this era of cinema. Braveheart,  Troy, Gladiator, the patriot and The last Samurai. They don't make movies like this anymore.

  The fight between Achilles and Hector will go down to be one of the best display from Brad Pitt ever

  Alexander the Great visited the site of Ancient Troy in 334 B.C., as he embarked on his campaign against the Persian Empire, leading a unified Greek Army (Hellenic League).<br> <br>The visit to Troy held both personal and strategic significance for Alexander. On one hand, it fulfilled his long-held desire to pay tribute to his hero Achilles and connect with the glorious past of Greek mythology.<br> <br>On the other hand, the visit served as a powerful symbolic gesture that showcased his intention to unite the Greek world under his rule and carry on the legacy of the legendary heroes.<br><br>Upon reaching the Tomb of Achilles, Alexander took a moment to pay his respects and acknowledge the greatness of the legendary warrior.<br><br>Then, Alexander poured oil over the tomb, a customary practice in ancient Greek funerary rituals, symbolizing purification and sanctification.<br> <br>He also placed garlands of flowers and foliage on the tomb, signifying honor and respect for the deceased.<br> <br>Next, Alexander and Hephaestion sacrificed animals, likely horses, to honor the spirits of Achilles and Patroclus. This ritual was meant to appease the souls of the dead and seek their favor.<br> <br>Finally, Alexander is believed to have organized athletic games at the site, following the ancient Greek tradition of hosting such competitions in memory of deceased heroes.<br><br>By paying homage to Achilles, Alexander was reinforcing his connection to the heroic past and legitimizing his claim to lead the Greek world.<br><br>After Troy and his first victory at the battle of the Granicus, while leading a unified Greek Army (Hellenic League) to avenge the Persian invasions in Greece 150 years prior, Alexander the Great sent 300 suits of full Persian armour (to honor the legendary last stand of the 300 Spartans in Thermopylae) to Athens, as a votive offering to Goddess Athena, to be hung on the Acropolis. <br><br>He ordered an inscription to be fixed over them; “Alexander, son of Philip and all the Greeks, present this offering from the spoils taken from the barbarians inhabiting Asia&quot;. <br><br>A statue group, known as the Granicus Monument, was erected by Alexander in the sanctuary of Zeus at Dion. This consisted of bronze statues by Lysippus, of Alexander with twenty-five of his companions who had died in the initial cavalry charge, all on horseback.<br><br>Alexander the Great is a sacred, immortal, legendary figure for us Greeks. Mostly for uniting all Greek City States and Kingdoms and spreading the unique Hellenic culture to the edges of the world. &nbsp;The rightful descendant of Achilles.<br><br>Eternal Hellas 🔥🇬🇷

  Eric Bana doesn&apos;t get enough praise for this role. &nbsp;Hector doesn&apos;t get enough praise for being the only man in this whole story who isn&apos;t consumed by their own hubris.

  The interesting part about Hectors code of honor is that Achilles does not honor the gods, does not have a woman to love and does not feel any obligation to fight for country, only his own glory.
