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.
