You don't come to see a Greek play and not want blood and gore and depth of feeling from your boots up.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A heroic nature is very Greek.
The Greeks already understood that there was more interest in portraying an unusual character than a usual character - that is the purpose of films and theatre.
If you look at the timing of many of the Greek dramas from the theatrical point of view, it's all off, and I think the reason for that is that music played a very important part.
People try to make a Greek tragedy of my life, and they can't do it. I'm too happy.
To be half-naked for a Greek mythology movie, it's a piece of art. You know, there's nothing vulgar in there.
Save for the wild force of Nature, nothing moves in this world that is not Greek in its origin.
If I was a Greek citizen I'd be out there trying to bring down this monstrosity that has been put upon those people.
While the willingness of the ancient Greeks to sacrifice their lives for glory brings tears to my eyes, I cannot ultimately condone the choice of Achilles.
I love the Greeks. There's no messing around - it's all do or die with them.
Greek tragedy was pre-Freudian, so every emotion has to be so raw; there are no psychological undertones.
