Brendan Gleeson plays Menelaus, Ken Bones plays Hippasus, and Manuel Cauchi plays the Spartan fisherman who tells Menelaus who took Helen away.

When Odysseus offers the captured woman to Achilles, Achilles realizes that Briseis is royalty, but keeps her anyways. Later on, Briseis tells Achilles that Hector is her cousin, when he leaves to kill Hector, but Achilles does not listen to her.

Answer: Hector

The war hadn't yet started when Hector said these words. Agamemnon wanted the Trojans to surrender, but they refused. Hector said these words to Agamemnon to show that they, the Trojans did not fear the Greeks. Agamemnon had the greed; he wanted Troy.

Answer: Agamemnon took Briseis from him

Achilles says this to Agamemnon after Agamemnon taunts him and takes Briseis from him. Infuriated, Achilles refuses to keep fighting for Agamemnon, which results in the defeat of the Greeks.

Answer: Eric Bana

Eric Bana played Prince Hector of Troy. Hector had a wife and a son, who escaped from the city safely with a few other Trojans. He was the commander of the Trojan army, and he was a great warrior. He was killed by Achilles when Achilles was avenging Patroclus' death. Hector was the King's oldest son, and Achilles stole his body and took it back to the Greek camp. During the war, Hector killed Ajax, Menelaus, Patroclus, and many other men. He was a huge factor in the Trojan War.

Answer: Tecton

Achilles threw an impossible spear throw directly into Tecton's throat. He was captain of a batallion of Hector's army. Later, Hector told his wife, Andromache that he had never seen a spear thrown like that.

Answer: Thessaly

Homer sets the scene for his epic with a council of the leading kings of Greece. He shows them warring in the council chambers, showing that a strong sword arm had to be tempered with a keen mind. Peterson opts for a more visually stunning episode, the invasion of Thessaly by Agamemnon's army.

Answer: 9

Achilles wanted to fight Hector because he accidentally killed Achilles' cousin. The fight ended with Hector being killed and Achilles dragging his corpse along the sand back to the Greek camp.

Answer: women

Odysseus says this to Achilles when he realizes that Achilles' reason for deciding to return to Greece is that Achilles had met Briseis.

Answer: Helen

Menelaus was Agamemnon's brother and Helen's husband. She did not love him, so she left with Paris on the boat, when they were headed back to Troy. Agamemnon took advantage of the situation to go to war against the Trojans.

Answer: Helen

Helen says this in an effort to comfort Paris, whose pride has been wounded after his battle with Menelaus, wherein he had to run away to his brother. Paris is still disappointed, though, and works harder in practicing his archery.

Answer: Prince Hector

Ajax was a very large Greek warrior who seemed as if he couldn't be killed. He took many arrows, and blows during the war. He carried a large club-like weapon that he swung around and killed many Trojan soliders. When he met Hector in battle, Hector stabbed his stomach with his sword but he tried to strangle Hector as he died. Ajax died before he could kill Hector. During the battle between Ajax and Hector, Ajax came down on Hector with his club, but Hector blocked the attack with a shield, the club went through the shield but not far enough to kill Hector.

Answer: King Agamemnon

Agamemnon, believing his army to be the best of the world, was reluctant to retreat. A combination of pelted arrows, multiple deaths, and Odysseus saying that the Greeks would have no army left, convinced him.

Answer: Aishwarya Rai

Aishwarya Rai turned down the role because she refused to do any kissing or nude scenes with Paris/Orlando Bloom. Aishwarya Rai is the main actress in the 2004 film 'Bride and Prejudice'.

Answer: Agamemnon

Agamemnon (Brian Cox) comes to the aid of his brother Menelaus (Brendan Gleeson), after Menelaus's wife, Helen, runs away with the Trojan Prince Paris.

Answer: Hector

Patroclus dressed up as Achilles so everyone thought he was Achilles, including Hector, which is why Hector fought with and killed Patroclus. This made Achilles furious and he went off to kill Hector, who knows he will not live through the next day.

Answer: Odysseus

Odysseus said these words when Agamemnon was having a meeting with some of the kings. Odysseus was talking about Agamemnon's brother, Menelaus, who died by Hector's hands. The kings told Agamemnon that they would need Achilles if they were going to win the war. Agamemnon knew that Achilles wouldn't listen to him. Briseis, at that time, was being harassed by the Greek men. It was Achilles who came to her rescue.

Answer: mortal

Achilles says this line to Briseis, the cousin of Paris and Hector. She is also a shrine maiden at the temple of Apollo, and this is said in an effort to enlighten her about the nature of the gods she serves. To this, Briseis replies that she had thought Achilles was a dumb brute but is apparently wrong in her assumption.

Answer: He survived.

Odysseus was one of the few Greek leaders who made it home after the Trojan War. He survived the war, with some of the other soliders. He came up with the plan to sneak into the city by hiding in a large wooden horse, believed to be a tribute to Posiedon by the Trojans. He was among the men to hide within the horse, and in the dead of night he, along with the other men, sneaked into city and allowed the rest of the army in. Now that they were all there, they sacked the city, and took all the women as slaves. Odysseus saved the Greek army, and played a huge part in the fall of the Trojans.

Answer: Hector

The death of Patroklus is the event which brings the sulking Achilles back into the fighting. Both the film and the original poem retain this event. In the poem Patroklus attempts to climb the walls of the city and is hurled back by Apollo before falling under Hector's blade. In 'Troy' the battle occurs at the beach, but the hero who claims Patroklus' life is unchanged.

Answer: early, day, princes

Achilles said this to his men after he let Hector walk away, after they had conquered the Trojan beach. Achilles sliced off the head of the statue Apollo. This was very offensive to the Trojans, because Apollo was the god that they trusted. Hector wanted to kill Achilles, but he was too good and let Hector walk away alive.

Answer: King Priam

Priam, the King of Troy, is played by Peter O'Toole. King Priam goes to beg for his son's body from Achilles, gaining the respect of the hard-hearted Spartan warrior.

Answer: King Agamemnon

King Agamemnon kills King Priam with a spear through his back, while Troy is being invaded. King Agamemnon's act is quite dishonorable since King Priam had not seen Agamemnon come up behind him, and was only able to see his murderer after he had been stabbed and fallen to the ground.
