In Iliad, they make it seem like Achilles is a horrible person, who kills hector but in the movie, Brad Pitt, who is playing Achilles is a good person and kills Hector because Hector kills Achilles's cousin..
Hi,
Just adding to the said above.
In the Iliad, Homers portrayed Achilles as a God, who was as if he was immortal. As well as a disturbed, human being.
Where in The Movie Troy, Achilles was believed to show "Human like emotions", As well as being a godlike creature who is Immortal.
These Differences are shown in the scene in both the poem and the movie, where Priam King of Troy, goes to Achilles at the Greek WAR camp as for Prince Hectors Dead Body back.
In the Iliad- Achilles says, that Hectors Body is for the dogs and the bird, to feed on. Where he shows NO emotion. King Priam Offered a ransom, for hectors body which was hectors weight in gold and one on Priams own Daughters hand in marriage.
In the Movie- Achilles shows great emotion toward Priam, and even cried over Hectors body while wrapping Hectors body for Priam to Take back to Troy for His funeral.
I hope I have helped!

Oh, by the way Achilles Cousin name was Patroculus who died in both the movie and the book. However, He wasn't only Achilles's cousin, he was also Achilles's Lover!

What are differences in Achilles'character in troy and iliod?
Achilles' most prominent traits in the Iliad are (first) resentment and hurt pride, after a favorite slave has been taken from him, and (later) anger and ferocity after his best friend has been killed in battle. If you mean: "how is Achilles' character different in the movie Troy from how it is in the Iliad", the answer is that it isn't much different. But the Iliad only describes the events in the very last year of 10 years' siege of Troy and does not say much of all that happened in the 9 years before. In the movie, all Achilles' acts that are shown from the beginning of the war can be considered to have been made up by the writers of the movie. Oh yes: and in the movie Achilles gets into the wooden horse and only dies after the conquest of Troy, while in the Iliad he dies much earlier and his son gets into the wooden horse.
