please do not keep in mind the war of troy movie!believe me there are a lot of things wrong there and i can be sure of that as i am greek.Achilleas was son of the nymphe Thetis.he was imortal but with one mortal point on his body,his heal!wen he was a baby thetis hold him from his heal over the fire of imortality so that is why his heal was the only point that if he was injured he could die and that was the reason of his death.his war equipments was a gift from god ifestus the god of fire.

Having read the four gospels several times, I'm fairly confident that he did exist as a person. As an atheist, however, I feel certain that he was not the son of God and that many of the events described in the gospels are metaphorical. I do strongly believe that he was an extremely charismatic individual who was a positive force in the world. Of course, many of his teachings (Love thy neighbor, for example) came from Judaism.

Why would you want to know this? Anyhoo I'm sure if you search for fansites or official website (if he has one) you might be able to get such info...seeing as he is human I'm sure he has at least one of those.

I don't think it was the real Sephiroth. It was the remnants of him from the Jenova cells in the materia that the guy stole from Rufus. That and the fact that the materia was damaged and a lot of it was lost during the battle between that bloke (can't remember his name) and Rufus as they fell from the building, so the guy that used it didn't get the full effect.

He was a real person. I don't remember specific details, but he was commisioned by the Prince of England to go and kill prostitutes with whom the Prince had slept. He would remove certain body parts, namely the uterus, in order to destroy any evidence of the Prince's debauchery.

His most famous students were Achilles and Asclepios

Is there any reason that they could not exist in a parallel universe?  But yes, I have seen a real, live one.  He is dead now.  You can look up Unicorn in google and actually see his picture.  His name was Lancelot.  But he couldn't fly.

Achilles - as long as Gladiator doesn't take advantage of Achilles' one vulnerability.  Achilles is the hero of the Iliad, after all =)

We have no proof that any of them existed, so is this a trick question?

There is but just rumors of magic use in Solomons time, nothing concrete. But since alot of the population were jews, it wouldnt be a far stretch to accuse them of anything back then, afterall we are all human.

I THINK IT WAS SOMEONE CALLED SHEMUS.. I THINK HE WOULD.\n\nhow are you going to pick a  answer to all your questions..

If you are asking whether i believe that he exists, then the definite answer is yes, but if your answer is whether i believe in him, then my answer is no. \n\nWhy should i? The bible calls him the father of liars, he also a murderer; (John.8:44) \n\n"You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it."\n\nHe is the chief inventor of lies, even when he tells you its day, be careful, it might just be night. I wouldn't believe him even if he had 10 million dollars and he told me he would give me 10 dollars

He is real--no follow up interviews is kinda weird. Could be because he was a diver and not the expedition leader.

Ajax.\n\nHe was a hero in the Iliad, "described as the tallest of the Achaeans, second only to his cousin Achilles in strength and bravery."  \n\nquoted from website below.

It is all open to conjecture. Some of the characters or events are actual historical persons/events e.g. Mary Magdalene did exist..whether she was indeed the "wife" of Jesus is open to debate...the Knight's Templar did exist..whether they were privy to "the great secret of Jesus's marriage and blood descendants" is another story...same goes for Leonardo da Vinci. Dan Brown does not make claim that any of these events are in fact true; they are loosely based on historical facts. Archaeology and in deed biblical history/archaeology has a hard time reconciling events in the bible to factual historical accounts. This is because the bible was borne out of oral traditions. There is little that is "eye witness testimony". It is however safe to say that christian beliefs, rituals and practices are an amalgamation of other religious traditions since nothing is born in a vacuum.
