Something quite unique has has just made its debut on YouTube, and it’s unlike anything we have seen before. It is a special kind of movie, a bold endeavour where the entire dialogue is in Ancient Greek! The outcome is nothing short of spectacular and offers an experience that is both intellectually stimulating and visually captivating. This is why Frogs is truly unique.
