It's
all in Homer... and that's the Odyssey not the Simpsons.
In the year 1193 B.C., Paris, a prince of Troy stole
Helen, Queen of Sparta, away from her husband, Menelaus,
setting the kingdoms of Mycenaean Greece at war with
Troy. The Greeks began a bloody siege at Troy that lasted
over ten years. Achilles was the greatest hero among
the Greeks, while Hector, the eldest son of Priam, King
of Troy, embodied the hopes of the people of his city.

Of
course, Homer Simpson has already covered the epic -
and all in 22 minutes. Don't think Wolfgang is going
to be as funny some how. |

"Sorry
I know in the book, Helen's the most beautiful thing
around. But this is a movie, and I'm bigger Box Office
than some German chick no one's ever heard of!!"
