Its not that Helen is the most beautiful woman that all the men want her, but because she has had relationships with each one and each man thinks he is her true love-regardless of her "marriage"
Every king goes to fight at Troy to go claim back 'his true love' despite the fact that she ran away with Paris of her free will
The Quarrel
Perhaps Agamemnon was influenced by the gods to be overly selfish just so the story could be more interesting
The only reason Achilles seems so noble is because he is acting that was to maintain a good rap-really he is just jealous that Agamemnon got the pretty girl
Augment between Agamemnon and Achilles--I'm the best, no! I am the best...
Achilles is just pouting-upset that he did not get his way
What Thestis Did for Her Son
The war is really just a reality TV show for the Gods
The Gods (Zeus) is board so he decides to spice up the show..as a favor for his latest tryst
Gods are betting on either side and their favorite warrior-sort of like fantasy football
Zeus and Hera prefer opposite teams- the atmosphere is like an OU OSU household
Entire atmosphere is like an eternal Superbowl party
Hector and Andromache
Athena revives a call during the party and rejects it
paid programming brought to the gods by sacrifice
more of a soap-opera feel
Embassy to Achilles
less of a friendly meeting more like drunk frat boys razing
Deeds and Death of Patroclus
change to a conversation in bed- and a sleepy punch drunk Achilles agrees to request then goes to sleep
Sarpedon was already down and Patroculus stabbed him- taking a false claim of victory-Gods decided to do something about it
Apollo pushes down on Patroculus' shield to make him aggravated and quick tempered and makes him so hot-headed that he pays no attention to his surrounding
Hector stabs him facing him, not a sneak attack- and mocks the Greeks for being gullible
Overall goal
Make the story sound more like a overly acted television show-daytime entertainment or like a sports show
make the entire plot seem more petty and trivial then it really was
more perspective from the gods point of view then personal vendettas
