Their shields are relatively the same size. And the reason behind that would be for visibility, less weight and it served the purpose to block as well as store their sword.

what are you talking about?Paris doesn't even shoot Achilles in the Iliad. it is a "known fact" in mythological terms that Paris did kill Achilles, as evidenced by the Odyssey, but it didn't happen in the Iliad.

In the actual book the Iliad, Hector was actually chased by Achilles around the city three times, also, the God's were a big variable in the fight. But they didn't mention that in the movie. I bet they never even read the book the iliad. Anyone here ever read the book the iliad?

like I said, it was just my speculation and I could be wrong. To them, culture and politics were pretty close to one another (since most people from a given city never left that city even once during their lives, and each city bore its own unique culture, specifically many had particular patron gods or goddesses whose worshipers followed different tenets, such as was stated by Socrates' discussion on piety in his Apology), but again this is just speculation.
