Gladiator

This movie seems to reflect some epic themes. It's almost like a lost bit of Virgyl. The arming scenes are reminiscent of Aristea. The hero also has Pietas and pays tributes to the gods and dreams of Elysian fields. Glory in the tradition of Iliad seems present in killing, but the hero seems to be moving beyond that and has more of a love like Achilles did for Helen, fileo (I think that's it).
