Hollywood F**** up everything

Rating: Null/10 (16 May 2004)

somehow it didn't bother David Beneioff that he changed the entire course of history. this is how it really went for those of you who actually want the truth:
Helen was given to Paris by Venus because in a contest between her, Athena and Juno he chose Venus as the most beautiful woman.
The siege lasted 10 years in actual fact NOT 16 DAYS as Hollywood would have you believe.
Paris dies (of course) and Helen marries ANOTHER Trojan during the 10 YEAR war(dirty B***) who she then betrays to her 1st husband, Menalaus.
Helen goes back to rule Mycenae with her husband Menalaus - though Hollywood decided to kill Menelaus 30 minutes into the film - the biggest let down I think.
Agamemnon goes back to his wife, Clytaementestra, after the war but she kills him because killed their daughter Iphengenia 10 year previously and Clytaementestra was a little p***ed at this - NOTE Agamemenon was not killed by some girl who did not exist in the legend.
Achillies never fell in love with this made up girl and his 'cousin' was actually his lover.
Priam dies at an alter with his wife Hecabe and watches his son get killed by Achillies son.
Aeneas (the boy at the end) later goes on to found Italy after Troy falls.
The wooden horse didn't feature in the Illiad.
HOWEVER: Brian Cox's portrayal of Agamemnon was brilliant. The scene between Achillies and Hector was near enough spot on. that was all i liked.
