Were should I start? They speak old Latin, not English or Italian. It's based more on history than myth, despite the name. Throughout the story you are given little bits and pieces to help understand the origin of the myth. There's no magic stuff. Things that happen might be interpreted by the characters as divine or as a sign from the gods but aren't really. And as some critical reviews have stated, the story is a bit "shallow", or rather not filled with uninteresting love affairs and other Hollywood-esce side stories. It's straight to the point. Oh, and I almost forgot, the acting is great. No over acting what so ever.
