I was getting ready to watch "Troy" when I heard of these mini-series which was on TV as a complete movie. And then I made the terrible mistake....and I watched it....
**SPOILERS**
Nothing I ever watched or read or heard ever made me more furious than this unspeakable desecration of Homer's Iliad.NO, ladies and gentlemen, Paris was not borne as Alexander, neither was he abandoned on the mountains.No, Menelaus did not become Paris' friend neither did he ask him whether Helen was talking about him or not.EVER!!And, for your information, NO, Achilles was not a professional wrestler, nor was he bold, or mad and he did not kill Hector without a reason. He killed him because Hector had killed Patroklus first, whom Achilles loved.And much more than that, which I was not able to watch, because my TV is not expendable... But, I guess, all these are meaningless details to those, whose brains are not too sharp and their education not that high...And for those who had not been taught that people should respect what's above them, older than them, unreachable by them.... I have only one request from them:Go and desecrate something else! Homer's saga is not a toy to play with!And if you ever feel the need to "shoot" Odyssey too, please....DON'T....
