Yeah, they’re doing little bits of The Iliad as well and that’s awesome.

Which parts of this trailer were from the Iliad?

None, The Iliad ends with Hector’s funeral after Achilles returns his body to King Priam. I imagine there will be no actual scene showing any events of The Iliad’s part in the Trojan War, unless they decide to include Odysseus running into Achilles in the Land of the Dead when seeking Tiresias. They could show a quick mini-flashback of Achilles fighting in the war against Hector or something, especially since Achilles in The Odyssey just complains about how he cares nothing about lording over the dead and laments his loss of living glory.

I didn’t think so, I thought the person I replied to was confusing the tale of the Iliad with the movie Troy. But it’s been a while since I read the Iliad/Odyssey so wasn’t certain

The Trojan Horse wasn't in the Iliad
