closest you get is Thetis who isn't a God, brainlet. Not even confirmed to be a sea nymph

just cause you don't see the gods or any evidence that they are there at all doesn't mean they aren't there idiot check em

>doesn't know the story
>gives opinion anyway
lol

never reply to me

Brad Pitt is featured on the cover dumbass.

>implying that stone Hector stumbled upon wasn't some Olympian shitposting

They refer to Achilles' mother as a goddess before she even appears

Do we need to divert the focus to dumb shit like domestic drama between Hera supporting Trojans and Zeus aiding Achilles? It's unnecessary, the movie is long enough and works fine without them.

Achilles literally says he has seen the Gods

wait it starts with them taking a temple of Apollo right?

Defend this film from what? Autistics?

>Do we need to divert the focus to dumb shit like domestic drama between Hera supporting Trojans and Zeus aiding Achilles?
yeah why give the actual message of the book..

yeah, why? Just read the Illyad if that's what you want.

Of course it's stupid look who wrote it

can you understand people who enjoyed the book want a good adaptation?

yeah, an adaptation, which means it's adapted to a different medium with different way of storytelling. If you want an exact adaptation then just read it.

>D&D

The biggest problem with this movie, the thing that really stuck with me and bothers me to this day, is that at the very end of the film they say the entire siege took a week or some dumb shit. In the book it took TEN YEARS. For fucks sake. Other than that and the lack of Gods it's pretty decent tho.

..you sack of wine!

HECCTTTTOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

normies at the time wouldn't have known what to think.

>In the book it took TEN YEARS
its understood IF the trojan war even did happen it wouldn't have lasted 10 years but 10 cycles of something whatever

It's the biggest book I've seen. I wouldn't want to read it.

The general assumption is that it was a series of campaigns with most of the Army returning to farm as needed. We even see in other parts of the Epic cycle that many of the Achaeans do go back & forth during the conflict, with Odysseus fetching Neoptolemus being the most well known.

As for the historicity, general consensus is the Illiad is largely a mish-mash of several wars with embellishments thrown in. For what it's worth, Homer's description of Troy and the surrounding area is pretty dead on.

>Homer's version was literally true

the only chance of the story being true is through bards like Homer.
you have to create quite a narrative to say the trojan war happened

too bad they didn't adapt the scene where Achilles kills so many Trojans that they pile up and dam the river
so the River God gets angry and tries to flush Achilles to the Sea
but Achilles is such a badass that he defeats the fucking river

I mean, it sounds like a fantasy movie at that point
but it would have been cool

It sounds like capeshit

its 3000 year old capeshit have some respect
