I agree with stardusttwin. Consider this quote from the film, Troy:

Messenger Boy: The Thessalonian you're fighting, he's the biggest man I've ever seen. I wouldn't want to fight him.
Achilles: That is why no one will remember your name.


We might take the Thessalonian to symbolize the challenge that is before each of us - our responsibilities to improve ourselves, our families, AND our communities. Collectively, they are immense, but part of growing up is learning to prioritize and balance... not to simply walk away.
