Troy and its historical errors

Rating: 5/10 (15 September 2005)

I have just seen Troy and I have noticed big mistakes, at least from what I remember learning in school. Even though the movie gives you a rough idea of mythological Greece, which is good enough for the typical American idiot, there are still inaccuracies that are obvious had the director only had the knowledge!! Since they have already been listed in number on this website, I will only name a few: the Trojan War lasted ten years and not a month; Achilles is killed with a single arrow in his heel; Agamemnon and Menelas are not killed during the Trojan War but far later: Agamemnon was killed by his wife Clytemnestra, and Menelas lived happily with his wife Helen. But this might have been too much for the American to understand, especially being killed by a single arrow to the heel, they wouldn't understand that!!!
