The ending soured me. It implies that the Greek civilization is dead but it will continue "in the West". The dialogue at a few parts feels very unnatural.

For the most part though, it's a well acted, well directed, well written film, and I still enjoyed it.

    I understood "sailing West to honor the dead" to mean sailing geographically West, as in the only cardinal direction you could sail in starting from the East Mediterranean sea to go into exile. That's at least what I understood Penelope was proposing when she originally suggested they run away by sailing West to escape Agamemnon.
