In Response To: Illium/Illeum (Forrest)

: I was just busy reading Hamlet for a school assignment,
: and I came across an interesting word, the last one in
: line 500, Act 2, Scene 2. It was "Illium".
: This struck me as remarkably similar to
: "Illeum", which had plains before it, on
: which a Leveller was drawn and quartered. Since this
: is an annotated version of Hamlet, I looked at the
: facing page and lo and behold, there's a definition of
: Illium. It was the fortress within Troy.

And dont forget that Achilles's warriors were called "Myrmidons".

Oh and you guys know that Clovis was the first King of France right?
