Well... Troy is loosely based on "The Illiad" of Homer (did I say loosely?), which is an epic poem based on Greek history as seen by them umpteen thousand years ago using the spectacles of religion to embellish fact. So, it's not really either history OR mythology although the Trojan war is historical fact... did you know Brad used a body double for the fight scenes?
I thought Briseis was kinda cute...
Thanks for the link!!
