the author haven't read Homer

Rating: 1/10 (13 May 2004)

The movie is full of mistakes:
1) at the time of the war of Troy there was not cavalry because horses where not mounted at the time;
2)The armors, the helmets and the shields where different as those described by Homerus and in use about in the 1250 b.c.;
3)First man reaching the shore at Troy was Iolao ( then the army changed his name in "Protesilao" meaning "first among the people")saving the Achilles' life on behalf of a prediction about the death of the first man landing at Troy;
4) There is a big confusion beetween the ages, Myceneians, Greeks, Hellenic age and so on;
5) Buildings, costructions and temples are not of the age.
The movie is a real disappointement to those that loves the poems of Homerus even the feeling of the epic era was wrong! Syncerely
Protesilao
