The movie and the poem both potray simlar yet different views on the epic, The Iliad. There are more examples on the story and how they are different and alike. For example the similarity that they have in common are the insults which were both stated in the poem as well as the movie.(you sack of wine) The difference is the use of Gods in the story and in the movie. The poem told more use of god's to help the characters as opposed to the movie's view. Another difference is the battle between Achilles and Hector, they did not run around the city as stated in the poem and there was no use of scales. The movie and the poem have different views of the epic yet they both get the main story across.
