The Trojan War Parody

Authors note: This is a short response about how the parody of the Trojan war used more modern things to appeal to the audience.


In the original Trojan War story Helen is the most beautiful girl there is. The conflict is also a little different in the parody then in the real story. In the original it is just the Trojans versus the Greeks. On the other hand there is sort of a war in the parody, but it's actually a play of gods and goddesses.

There were a lot of things that were different between the original story and the parody. For example the parody changed Paris from a nice strong guy to a guy who wouldn't even fight. I think they made this change to make the story more humorous. I think that it is a good remake of the original Trojan Horse story. It did mostly stay true to the original story but of course there was things that were different. I think it is a good remake due to the humor involved throughout the story. For instance, Cassandra would always yell the word doom.
