Troy: The Lack of Divine Existence in Film

While Ancient Greek tragedies loved to have divine characters speaking on the stage, modern movies seem to hesitate a lot. In the movie Troy (directed by Wolfgang Petersen and written by David Benioff,) no deity appears on the battlefield despite the exciting descriptions of their fight in Homer’s epic. Similar things happen in other movies based on mythology. For instance, Aphrodite never appears in the Argonaut movies, although she is quite important in the epic.
What might be the reason for this phenomenon?

I think this could be explored with other films of the era in a similar vein. What was the cultural shift that removed divinity from films based on myths and how can it be analysed. – Sunni Ago 1 month ago

Dec 29, 2023 AlisaN Great analysis of Iago! I agree with your argument about how Iago always justifies himself afterwards.	Iago - The Perfect Villain
Dec 23, 2023 AlisaN Dennis starts his story as a dead person, then a full-time police officer, and end up as a high school student. It is interesting to see how he grows in an almost “opposite” way to most people. From death to job to school.	Chainsaw Man and the New Shonen Protagonist
Dec 23, 2023 AlisaN Agree. The tip of Biro feels rather slippery. Pencil is the most comfortable writing tool for me.	Is the Pen Mightier Than the Keyboard?
