HiThe dictionary defines hero as: a man distinguished by exceptional courage, nobility etc. A man who is idealised for possessing superior qualities in any field.

JanJust checked Movie site & found release date! Sorry, was being lazy!Chris

Hi JanCan you refesh my memory - when is the film due for release?Regards,Chris

Would ATG really have believed the world to be flat? Astronomers in the ancient world at the time, I believe, knew the world to be round - surely this theory would have been known to Aristotle? What do you suppose his perceptions were?Chris

HiI seem to recall ATG was quoted as asking his troops before a battle to shave off their beards ...because no purchase could be made on a beard by the enemy.Is this based on fact? Let's have a heated debate.ChrisChris

Hi MarcusWell said. I'm sure no-one suggested that to ATG either - maybe once. Chris

HiHis father was, I believe, 5feet 2inches, although, I think it's "a fact" that sons are always taller than their mothers? I like to imagine ATG to be about 5 foot 4 inches, with reddish brown hair, wiry and athletic, and as hard as nails, with the constitution of an ox. The very opposite...

Hi LaneThere are some bizarre sites out there, I should know, I've visited most of them. Chris
