If they’re caught and killed, your army is screwed. If you want to scout out an enemy, use scouts, not your most valuable commanders. You don’t need to be Alexander the Great to work out why this is a crap plan. So if Paris’ plan goes awry then he (the commander) and two of Troy’s top lieutenants would be stuck fighting off the entire Greek army while waiting for the other Trojans to catch up to them. The show has no made attempt at showing how close the beach is to the city, however, based off some of the establishing shots we’ve been shown, it’s presumably a hefty distance away. In fact, they planned to attack with just 3 men, Paris, Deiphobus and Aeneas, who will then send a signal to the other Trojans to catch up with them. So they gather the whole Trojan army for a last desperate attack…oh no, wait they don’t do that. Paris then decides that they will lead an attack against the Greeks because, as they decided earlier on “this is our chance, we have to take it”. For now, suffice to say that Xanthius doesn’t appear in myths and so this subplot has basically no grounding in any kind of accuracy. I’m going to leave this for now, because the mythological portrayal of Helen during the fall of Troy varies a lot from myth to myth, so we’ll dive in to that a bit more later. In reality, it would be wise under these circumstances to seek a peace deal, but the show has never had much time for realism.Īndromache is still accusing Helen of being a traitor in the city and being the one that help Xanthius escape. Paris is having none of this though despite it just being established that they will be starving in two weeks, and that their men are so hungry that they’re in no condition to fight properly.

Someone makes the very sensible suggestion that, with Achilles dead and the Greeks disheartened, the Trojans should try and negotiate a peace deal. Also, glad to notice that, despite the city starving, there’s still enough food for the princes to maintain their buff guy physiques and look so pretty.

Based off of Andromache’s pregnancy that was at least 9 months ago! So the Trojans have spent an awfully long time “running out of food” maybe they underestimated how much they had in Episode 3. Over in Troy, Paris and the other Trojan leaders are discussing the situation and they’re apparently still running out of food! Again, they were meant to be running out of food in Episode 3, that’s why we had the whole tunnel escapade – but the tunnel plan didn’t work. Starving to death in two weeks is no excuse to forget proper grooming and make up. But no, the dog just ran out once “when the time was right” and was promptly forgotten about. When it was shown in Episode 3 as being able to run in and out of the city, I thought it might carry messages to Odysseus, maybe about food running low, or on the Trojan tactics or something. I must say, I’d completely forgotten about this dog. We open with Odysseus staring at a horse on the beach (foreshadowing that is so on the nose that it genuinely made me sneeze), before being whisked away to talk to Xanthius and his dog. Ah, get it?! IT’S SYMBOLISM! IT’S SUBTLE! DO YOU GET IT?! So, for the last time, let’s see how accurate it all is.

On the whole however, the events are based on other well-known myths that form “The Epic Cycle”. This last episode, however, is not really based on Homer because the Iliad ends before this episodes events kick off (though there are little bits and pieces referenced in The Odyssey which do crop up this episode). If it were possible to somehow hook Homer’s body to some sort of turbine from his grave, I’m sure his spinning would produce enough power solve the global energy crisis. Finally, we are here, the light at the end of the tunnel in sight! It’s been a bumpy ride so far: there have been a few pretty decent moments in the show, but overall, in terms of historical and mythological accuracy, it’s a mess.
