Holy shit you’re a fricking moron. Troy is located in WHAT IS TODAY Turkey. It wasn’t fricking Turkey back then you blithering fricking idiot. There were no Turks in that area until the Middle Ages.
>NOOOOOOOO THE ANCIENT TURKEY WAS ACTUALLY ALL PALE-SKINNED WHITES
Seething so hard over being Muslim rape babies I'd almost peg you as Spaniards.

Wrong, Trojans migrated East once Troy fell and came back to retrieve what was theirs as Turks.

Because it's context is more important than its content. >Making propaganda for a man who has been dead 2,000 years out if a book that isn't even finished
No one cares.
>why is there no adaptation of [novel]?
1. because it doesn't follow a conventional 3 act structure with a beginning, middle, and end
2. because it's extremely long
3. because it has too many characters
4. because it would cost a lot of money and the fanbase just isn't there
5. because Hollywood doesn't believe in artistic integrity
6. because it extols traditional values
7. because it doesn't appeal to 3 of the 4 main demographics
boring odyssey ripoff in first half followed by boring iliad odyssey in second
better question is why there is no film adaptation of the odyssey that anyone's heard of (apart from O Brother Where Art Thou)
You can call it derivative and propagandistic but on a technical level the Aeneid is better than Homer. Homer was just a bunch of originally oral shit compiled and preserved unevenly. The Aeneid is better because Virgil was consciously aware of how to make powerful art/propaganda through Plato Aristotle (even though Plato used "dude it's just like Homer" for like half of the arguments in favor of his shit).
It's a better technical work just like Shakespeare is a better technical work than weird Old Greek comedy.
too bad Virgil is fricking boring!! compared to Homer (whoever or whatever he may be). Virgil is way too stuffy and classical. very mannered. Homer is full of vim and vigour. Alexander Pope's essay on the Iliad really captures how dynamic it is.

There is Ulysses (1954) with Kirk Douglas which kickstarted the entire Peplum/Sword and Sandals genre.
For Aeneid there is nothing but a low quality Steve Reeves movies that doesn't even seem to follow the plot.
When Hesiod wrote Theogony there were other extant versions of The Titanomachy... which makes me wonder if there were detractors who considered his writings non-canonical fanfic.
Idris Elba's schedule has been jam packed for years now.
why is he always chosen to replace the aryans

Troy was literally in Anatolia. We found the historical Troy a hundred years ago in Northwest Turkey.

WE
I'm a firm believer that there is more truth than non-sense to Historia regum Britanniae
the Trojans are the ancestor of the Celts
This is like attributing ancient pyramids in the Mississippi valley to the ancestors of Roscoe and Cletus.
Bass pro shop doesn't really qualify as "ancient"
Blacks are the true ancestors of Italians.
>LE Idris is LE white male xD
They should use David Gemmell's trilogy as the background for this kino.

Love that movie, but Silvana Mangano is a plank of wood and she ruins every scene she's it
