Why? It only solidifies that the Romans were losers

I can't ever imagine a story being passed down these days like that. I mean, imagine if France walked into Britain and completely ransacked the entire country. It had been a country of brave warriors, some of the best of their time. Then only like 1,000 or so people survived, and went on to found the United States. Thus, the U.S. is created by a bunch of losers who got their asses whooped.
Somehow, I can't ever imagine that. We'd be ashamed to even suggest that we were descended from losers.

There was a great vogue in Australia for locating your ancestry on the First Fleet- as if being descended from transported convicts necessarily conferred some strange nobility upon you.Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.

Haven't seen the film yet. I want to see it just because my name is Achilles and I want to see how bad my namesake is portreyed.
Homer's epic could never be represented by any such film. However, as it has already been mentioned, the whole idea behind the poem is 2 things:
1. Every man's fate is set by the gods
2. All that matters in the world is fame after death.
You can find the Illiad here"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."

I really did enjoy it. I thought it was a decent movie, and since I've never read the Iliad, I didn't really have a problem with most of the story. From a moviewriting aspect, there's a lot they couldn't do because it wouldn't fly with mainstream USA, and since it cost $200 Million, that's who needs to see it.
Plus, it's artistic interpretation. If you want to have the real Iliad, go read it.
Of course...there was a lack of character developments, loose love stories, complete lack of anything godlike, had actors that couldn't act, etc etc etc...
