5/10
mostly too slow
20 May 2024
It's 400 BCE Greece. Protheus led the peaceful freedom-loving Pythagorian society in Athens until his death. Pythias is ordered to Syracuse, and recruit Arcanos to be their new leader. Only, Arcanos is hiding from city dictator Dionysius the Tyrant and and Cariso, the captain of the guards. In Syracuse, Pythias gets robbed by bandit Damon and they end up escaping together from the guards.

This is an Italian spaghetti toga epic based on an ancient Greek story. The first half of the movie is too slow. A spaghetti sword and sandal needs to have more action. It's an hour before there is a truly good action scene and it's a really good one. I love the western-like stunts. Some of them actually look dangerous. The stuntman could have been hurt by the flipping cart. Otherwise, I never connected with these characters.
