This movie is in Greek in the pronunciation of 405 BC, just before the Greeks 
standardized the alphabet, which is not the pronunciation I use, which is 
Byzantine with vowel length distinctions. So I turned on the subtitles. At 
6:47 someone speaking in Doric dialect says "τί κόθορνός τευ" ("τευ" appears 
to correspond to Attic "σου").
