[It's not altogether that surprising for Vergil to hear that Nero doesn't understand the reference. He's about explain it a little further when Nero chimes in with his reference that Vergil doesn't understand as indicated by the slight furrow in his brow as he looks up.]

I assume that's a film...?

[Vergil hesitates to say that it's based on anything in Greek mythology. What film adaptations Nero has shown Vergil have varied wildly in how closely they follow their source material for better or for worse, and he doesn't know where Greek mythology would land exactly. Vergil feels safe assuming it would likely vary greatly depending on the myth in question as to how far it might stray. Some of them were quite action-packed after all, and would probably make for great cinema in Nero's eyes, but others would probably be as interesting to him as watching grass grow if they were presented at all authentically. The title gives nothing away as to what myth it's referring to exactly, however. Hence his hesitation.]
