'I was Achilles'

I was listening to "My City" by Dear Daystar tonight and mulling over its classical influences. There's a reference to Icarus ("Tried to fly and I fell into the sea"); the vocative of city is also used a lot, which is classical-ish (heh).

It turns out their song "Tanadaqadakux" is part of a short film about Achilles on Youtube. The film itself is a little silly (the part at the end where she's walking off into the sunset wearing a fabric helmet is hilarious), but I thought the Greek narration was quite beautiful.
