Trivia
Keep an ear out - the 1st Wilhelm is heard when the second (not the first!) Myrmidon screams as he falls overboard into water, after being hit by Trojan arrows. The 2nd Wilhelm is heard moments later, when Achilles and his Myrmidons are in their shield formation, one Myrmidon stands behind the formation and fires an arrow into a Trojan, who screams as he falls.

Genres: Action, Drama, History, Romance, War
This film is loosely based on the Iliad, not a direct copy. As such, any book/film differences aren't valid. If you're interested in the "facts" of the story, such as they are, check them at the Wikipedia.
Achilles: Before my time is over, I will look down upon your corpse and smile.
Hector: All my life I've lived by a code; and the code is simple: Honor the gods, love your woman, and defend your country. Troy is mother to us all. Fight for her!
Menelaus: May the gods keep the wolves in the hills and the women in our beds.
[After Paris is sliced in the leg by Menelaus, during their duel.]
Menelaus: See the crows? They never tasted prince before.
Hector: You speak of war as if it's a game. But how many wives wait at Troy's gates for husbands they'll never see again?
Achilles: Perhaps your brother can comfort them. I hear he's good at charming other men's wives.
[Upon hearing horses, Achilles throws a spear directly into a tree beside Odysseus, as he rides in.]
Odysseus: Your reputation for hospitality is fast becoming legend.
