re: Arcadians get a lengthy mention in "300"
Never saw the film, I've been waiting for it to come out on free-on- demand. I did see the old movie version with Richard Egan as the Laconic Leonidas. Actually, I love all those sword-and-sandal epics, even if they are not historically accurate. What actually first attracted me as a kid to classical studies was that I thought the Greeks had neat helmets.
