The Iliad vs. Troy

The differences between The Iliad and Troy are in most cases evident for instance the use of gods in the Iliad. In Troy the characters seem to show some since of doubt in the gods yet in the Iliad some of the gods are the main characters. My opinion is that the movie should have inserted some of these supernatural qualities to better portray the original story. Another difference is that in the movie they include the Trojan horse which was never really in the Iliad. also when Paris was fighting Agamemnon supposedly a god poofed him out before he died. Another example is Helen was supposed to be Paris's prize but in the movie it was for love. Either way I like the movie troy and the Iliad is too hard to read (I Don't even know if I spelled Iliad right).
