Iliad vs. Troy

I think that when troy was made, it followed the iliad through many aspects and didn't through others but over all I enjoyed the movie very much. I think that one of the biggest differences between the book and movie is that in troy there is no use of the gods to help the charecters but in the iliad the gods were used all the time to allow the main charecters to gain an advantage over their enemies. Another difference between the two is that in the iliad, it describes the greek army as having over one thousand ships but in the movie, the directors only used about two hundred. these are the two main differences that I noticed between the iliad and troy.
