Historically Inaccurate (spoilers)

I am baffled why the script deviated so much from Homer's original poem 'Iliad'.
1. Mythological aspects were dropped from the script, such as the existence and intervention of gods. Peterson claimed that the Greek Gods were silly and unnecessary to the plot. 2. Greeks are portrayed as Vikinngs. Greek kings were not bikers. 3. The town of Sparta was never near sea. It was near a river. 4. Agamemnon never died during the siege of Troy. He died a lot later, in his country, by his son, for killing his wife [his son's mother]. 5. Trojan were of Greek (Pelasguses) origin. 6. Greeks never killed inside temples.
