What?!?!?!
It looks like the movie adaptation of Troy has left the gods out of the picture!!!
“Troy” is “inspired” by “The Iliad,” Homer’s epic poem about the Greek siege of Troy. The filmmakers chose that word carefully. Not only does much of their story derive from ancient literary sources other than Homer and the script often take extreme liberties with Greek mythology, but Petersen and writer David Benioff jettison Zeus and the whole Olympian cosmos. Yes, this version of “The Iliad” is godless. – Kirk Honeycutt
Gah! This is intolerable, how can you tell a tale of the ancient Greeks without mentioning religion? I let it slide when I saw Gladiator but to tell the tale of the Trojan War with not a mention of the gods? I dare say it’s blasphemy, it’s like telling bible stories without mentioning God, imagine a scene in the bible where some saint in trouble instead of getting a bit of divine intervention escapes using some sort of MacGyveresque escape method and then talks about how the only thing he believes in is his abilities.
