shouldn't have made Briseis such an important character
She was a minor character in the Iliad but the movie makes her central to the plot. And then when the Greeks ransack Troy Achilles just has to go and save her. Why should anyone care that a single priestess is saved while an entire city is massacred? Briseis being saved while everyone else in Troy died doesn't make me feel any better about the destruction of Troy. And it doesn't make me feel any better about Achilles. It just makes him kind of selfish.
