Caesar, Herepedies, maybe? Can't spell it and don't think it's a name I know, so can't really say. |

Sounds like fur-egg-we-dees where egg is probably american slurring of a Q and the dees is a probably a t. So something sounding a bit like equities. But that's about all I can think of. |

Why would Euripides be third in a list comprising Napoleon and Caesar, though? |

Maybe Napoleon and Caesar were tragic playwrights too, but ended up being remembered just for their day jobs. Or maybe all three of them were short. Or liked smelly ladies. Probably not Caesar. |

Maybe he's lining up the ancient Greek tailor joke*: Euripides? Eumenides. But yeah, sounds like someone who has never heard 'Euripides' pronounced reading it from a script. *Hey, I didn't say it was any good. Edited by smac, Oct 28 2009, 12:34 PM.

I agree with this. Sounds like 'Wepides'. Although it doesn't make any sense to me why he'd be listed with Caesar and Napoleon, no. |

Well, that's the joke - non-sequitur from the fat bloke. Although that would be way too subtle, judging by the rest of the trailer. Edit - or what romanista said. Edited by smac, Nov 1 2009, 10:38 PM.
