 CHAR: When the boy goes to find Achilles for him to go fight the  enormous warrior from Thessaly he tells him that "the Thessalonian  is huge". He should have said "Thessalian". A "Thessalonian" would  be someone from Thessaloniki, a city that was not founded until  centuries later (4th century BC) by Cassander, who became the king  of Greece after Alexanders death. Cassander married Thessalonike,  Alexanders sister and named the city after her to honor her.
