There are numerous contradictions in this mini-series with that of the "actual" story of the Trojan War. [The mini-series are only loosely based on the 'actual' story of the Trojan War, just like the movie Troy is.]

To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

When Odysseus and Menelaus came to King Priam for the return of Helen, Odysseus addressed Priam as "High King Priam." The problem is that Troy does not have a high king and that the Greeks (who traded with Troy) should know that. [Odysseus never addresses Priam as High King and neither does Menelaus.]
