Then there was the scene where the trojans mount a surprise attack at the greeks and they all decide, in the middle of the HUGE battle, to crowd around "achilles" and hector and watch them fight. Then when hector kills "arhilles", the almost 80,000 guys decide that was enough fighting for the day and they walk back to the city and the greeks back to their ships...

Didn't the Greek archers have the High ground? ( a ridge before the beach?)

That's just mythology stuff. I thaught it fit the plot perfectly.[/quote:0f679]
now that I think about it you are correct, the archers did have the high ground, but of what they showed of them, the archers werent very concentrated, and the advancing trojans were less that probly 50 feet from the ridge. So if they could have taken that ridge, the greeks would have been screwed. The hard part is that the movie didnt show the number of archers the greeks had.
Best line from the movie : "She's gone, she left with the trojans!"
