Man, u r sth!!!! After your fans cloned your username now they do the same with your avatar!!!

Seems the Strategos A.E fan club is getting bigger and bigger!!! Looks like your style is never out of fashion!!!

Nice work, but historically inaccurate.

The city name is Xanthos, what is "Arna" that's mentioned in the clip? Is it the modern name of the city?

There's a poem by Hoelderlin mentioning Xanthos:

At Xanthos lay, in Greek times, the city,
But now, like the greater who rest there
Is it through fate to the holy light
Of day over come.

They died, however, not in open battle
By their own hand. Fearfully is from that
What happened there, the wonderful
Legend from the east come to us.

It tore them the Goods from Brutus. For
As fire gone out, so he offered himself
them to help, that he at the same time, as field commander
Stood in siege before the gates.

But from the walls they threw the servants
He had sent. Livelier grew
The fire, and they rejoiced and themselves
Stretched towards the hands of Brutus.

And all were beside themselves. Cries
Rose up and jubilations. Into the flames
Man and woman threw themselves, from boys also
He from the roof fell, into the sword of the fathers he.

It isn’t advisable to contradict heroes. Long
Was it prepared, however. The fathers too
That they were seized, once, and
Violently pressed the Persian enemies

Caught fire, grabbing the reed of the rivers
That she would find freedom, the city. And house
And temple took, to the holy ether
Flying, and the people away the flames.

So the children have heard it, and probably
The legends are good, for a reminder
Of the highest they are, but that requires as well
Someone to lay the holy out.

The modern name of the city is Antalya.

The city`s orginal name is arrnaa in lykian language (actually lykia wasnt a hellenic city). Xanthos is hellenic name of the city.

Lydians werent Hellenic, they were related with Hittites.

Lydian language belongs to New http://www.allaboutturkey.com/anatolia.htm - Anatolian languages, derived from Old http://www.allaboutturkey.com/anatolia.htm - Anatolian - http://www.allaboutturkey.com/hitit.htm - Hittite , Luwian and Palaic. When the http://www.allaboutturkey.com/hitit.htm - Hittite Empire fell, http://www.allaboutturkey.com/anatolia.htm - Anatolian city-states started a new epoch of Indo-European settlers of http://www.allaboutturkey.com/anatolia.htm - Asia Minor . These cities were inhabited both by Indo-European http://www.allaboutturkey.com/hitit.htm - Hittites and non-Indo - European tribes like http://www.allaboutturkey.com/hatti.htm - Hatti , http://www.allaboutturkey.com/asur.htm - Assyrians , Aramaeans. In the 7th century B.C. all East and Central http://www.allaboutturkey.com/anatolia.htm - Anatolian Indo-Europeans were practically assimilated by Semitic and other tribes, and Indo-European http://www.allaboutturkey.com/hitit.htm - Hittites and Luwians had to move farther to the West, to the shores of the http://www.allaboutturkey.com/aegean.htm - Aegean Sea .

Lydian was inherited directly from http://www.allaboutturkey.com/hitit.htm - Hittite , but has a lot of its own new features.

Lydian morphology also differs somehow from http://www.allaboutturkey.com/hitit.htm - Hittite . Nouns are declined in pronominal declension, http://www.allaboutturkey.com/hitit.htm - Hittite noun declension was almost completely lost. Accusative case is being replaced by dative in the meaning of direct object of the verb. Some verbal forms have endings derived not from http://www.allaboutturkey.com/hitit.htm - Hittite same forms but from participles (for example, 3rd person plural has -l ending) or other verbal nouns.

thalos (from milletus) who is an ionian philosopher is most important actor in this movie. i think that this movie`s story is related with mediterranean civilizations.

And of course lydia werent hellenic.

No, Lydia was not Hellenic indeed. However there were also there, a few Greek colonies along the coast.

yes exactly.

i agreed.

Turkish, but with English subtitles. It's a nice effort, but not accurate in its depictions.

It's a mistery to me why Turks always, when they reffer to Greeks, they separate Hellenes from Ionians.  I mean if you want to distinquish ancient Greeks by tribe, why not mention Dorians, Aeolians etc as well?  Same thing happens in archaeologocal sites in Western Turkey.

What do you mean? Do you reffer us calling Greeks "Yunan"? If so, we've learned the name "Ionian/Yunan" from Persians, and they called all Hellens by the same way after their conquest of Aegean coasts once. I think because Ionians were the first Hellenic people they've met.

We dont differ Hellens from each other, we call all of them as "Yunan". But the only problem appears when we call the Southern Greek Cypriots as "Rum"s. That's a wrong usage, because they arent "Rum"s, they are Greeks.
