achilles' heel
'Goddess of song, teach me the story of a hero'.
Am looking forward to Troy and expecting to see loads of men with finely chiselled features and muscular physiques fighting the guts out for one another, yes! Though behind the scenes there were disputes over the sexuality of our hero, with Pitt refusing to be portrayed as gay Achilles. I would recommend Pitt to read Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida, in which some not only read Achilles as a homosexual, but also as an effeminate transvestite. Hope this will make the golden boy feel much better.
