[QUOTE="MoonlessNight, post: 7885664, member: 13255"] So... is there really anything from [i]The Iliad[/i] that actually made it into the movie? The following things didn't happen in [i]The Iliad, [/i]by the way: The golden apple being thrown causing the mess Paris choosing the fairest goddess Helen being given to Paris The reprisal and start of the war Achilles's Death The Trojan Horse and the conquest of Troy Those indeed were part of the story of Trojan war, but weren't in the Iliad (just stating that because some people seem to think Trojan War = The Iliad). I know that the movie is based off the war, not the Iliad, but I'm just wondering how much of the Iliad makes it into the movie. In particular (I guess this might contain spoilers, I don't even know if any of it is the movie though): Do Paris and Menelaus duel? Is there a midnight raid (I think by Odysseus and Ajax, but I could be wrong)? Does Achilles send Patrocolus in his place to send back the Trojans? Do the Greeks (Achaens) have a tournament of a variety of games to celebrate Hector's death? Those were my favorite parts of The Iliad, so I'm curious if they are in the movie. [/QUOTE]
