I'll have to admit that since I love Greek Mythology, I'll have to see it.
This thread is pretty lengthy, so I don't know if someone has already said this, but everything I've read suggests that mythology was pretty much soaked out of the film. Peterson was apparently too embarrassed by the source material to actually use it, so characters who cling to their gods are ridiculed.
BTW, Peterson has said he saw George Bush in Agamemnon. "He, too, went to war under false pretenses." There was another thread asking people to boycott the film because of that. LOL Want a third reason? Brian Cox--the guy playing Agamemnon--hates Bush. I boycotted X-Men 2 because of comments he made around the time of that movie's opening.

I saw it last night and liked it very much. It was pretty much dead on Iliad until the last. I didn't go watch it because of their politics, most of hollywood are idiots and most of the world knows that.
