Here is a list of differences that I gave between the Iliad and the movie "Troy" from a past question: The movie was only inspired by Homer’s Iliad‚ not a completely accurate depiction of what he wrote.

In the movie "Troy" the gods played no role in events that took place. - In the movie Hector kills Menelaus

It was here where he found the location of Troy. He had discovered seven settlements which he labelled using Roman numerals with the deepest layer being Troy I and the shallowest being Troy VII.

Contrasts of Troy and the Iliad Troy and the Iliad are very similar in the story line and the all-around theme but there are huge fundamental changes the director made to the story to increase the likeability of the movie.

The three most important fundamental changes of the

of nationalism and determination uncommon in many other cultures. The greater good of Rome was always put before individual desires. This was not an idea forced onto the people of the time‚ it was something ingrained in Roman culture. At the fall of Troy Aeneas‚ the son of Venus‚ was instructed to go and found a new empire. His destiny could not be stopped by romance or even his own family. Aeneas was fated to not only found Rome‚ but bring values to the soon-to-be empire. As the city around him

as I can remember‚ no magic apples have ever flown in and disrupted any of the weddings I’ve been to. I don’t know‚ maybe it’s just me‚ but it seems as though there was an abundance of magical fruits and enchanted vegetables in the time of Helen of Troy. This is something we seem to be lacking in our modern day culture.

The production of Fences was very intriguing‚ from the actors to the scenery. Throughout the play‚ Troy‚ who is a respectable friend‚ father‚ husband and brother‚ faces many mindful hardships with all of his loved ones. Troy’s dream of becoming a major-league baseball player was crushed‚ he says that it was because of the color of his skin‚ but Rose‚ Troy’s wife‚ expresses that it was only because he was too old of age. And because of this Troy does not support the idea of his son Cory to go off
