    classical Christian theological theory‚ people ’s need for believing in supernatural beings is caused by their fear of nature.

In all three masterpieces‚ Gods are basically described as humans‚ with all their strengths

Therefore‚ there are obvious deviations from the book such as the length of the Trojan War‚ and the absence of celestial participation in the war. There is also an absence of mortal female characters such as Chryseis‚ Hecuba‚ and Cassandra in the movie. In contrast
