The trojan war? How about a big lego horse with minifigs hiding in it? A
menotar. The cyclops. Medusa minifig hair. :) Greek warships with oarsmen.
What would greek fire look like? Just imagine white 2x2x11 column pieces in
vast quantities.
The pointy helmets, like the bull people have, already look roman. All you
need is the push-broom thing to go on top. The armor used in the japanese
sets, gold-plated would be perfect. The short swords are also already a good
fit. Tower shields that can be hooked together to make battle formations.
