I reviewed the movie Troy (theater version), directed and produced by Wolfgang Peterson from January 19-22, 2008. The film is about the Trojan War, as described in Homer’s Iliad and other Greek myths. The Trojan War was considered the most critical event in the early history of ancient Greece. According to ancient reports, the Trojan War was started by a conflict between three of the leading goddesses. Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite held a contest to determine who was the most beautiful and in turn would receive the golden apple. Paris, son of King Priam of Troy was selected to judge the contest. Paris chose Aphrodite as the loveliest and in return she promised him the most beautiful wife. Paris then selected Helen of Sparta, wife of Menelaus as his prize and so started the most famous war in history between the Greeks and the Trojans.

In the movie, I think Achilles ultimately realized that fame and glory are not worth the price of war and really wanted to escape Troy......
