Oh yes, although it is never explicitly stated, it is made rather clear if you are observant that the pair are very... um... "special friends." I could launch into a lengthy explanation (and I really want to 'cause I'm crazy like that) but given the forum rules I'll refrain.

*youtube search "xena episodes"*

My favorite god is easily Poseidon. 1. Hes one of the Big 3. 2. Hes god of the oceans, which are 75% of the earth, earthquakes, and horses. 3. Hes awesome looking when depicted. 4. In the Illiad he is one of the first gods to go against Zeus and fight on earth.

Athena is pretty cool too. Shes a close 2nd, with my 3rd fave bein Hephaestus who i feel doesnt get enough recognition though hes awesome.

Its gotta be Apollo, he's the most handsome god. He's also the god of music and archery which is pretty awesome. Plus his names the coolest:p

Nah, I'm not really like that:p. He's just pretty cool although Dionysus comes in an extremely close second. God of parties and wine, pretty awesome, the party part.

Aphrodite is another of my fans. Goddess of Love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation. (See? Better ways to say it then being a tool.)

Akeles and the trojan horse/Troy was a good movie though i know its mostly fiction as is 300

but based on the true story though real farfetched if you read or heard the true story that doesnt sound as good as the drama that goes on in these movies

The Illiad was an amazing book.

I must respectfully disagree.
The Illiad is much more entertaining then the movie "Troy". The only reason Troy is considered the better of the two is the fact that most people don't read good books anymore, that, compounded with the fact that they drastically changed things in Troy for sheer entertainment value, has massively biased opinions in favor of Troy.

In other words: Many movies mutilate stories for the almighty dollar.

I haven't read the book, but Troy was a pretty crap movie IMO.

It was crap, but it was all visual. And the visual is where stories fail these days.
