Oh yea! The Iliad! I wouldn't have noticed, considering that this had nothing to do with it! The only differences between Troy and the Iliad is the names, and the battle. First off, Menealaus (and is also pronounced wrong in the film) isn't supposed to die!!!!!!! Second, Patroklus and Achilles aren't cousins! They're lovers (well, "very close friends").
And WHERE ARE THE GODS/GODDESSES???? The Gods and Goddesses played a HUGE role in the Iliad! I cannot believe they're not in Troy, this takes away from the whole meaning of the story. I suggest reading it, if you really want to learn about Troy. Come on! If you want to learn something about the Ancient Past...see Alexander.
