Anyone with half a brain would realize that by writing a script in which Hector kills King Menelaus in the opening battle scene, flies in the face of Greek Mythology. Without Menelaus there would be no Homers "Odyssey".
The whole idea behind Homers epic tale is to tell the story of Menelaus and his voyage back home after the War. Not only did he survive the sacking of Troy, he decided not to kill Helen after all and took her back to Sparta. For Hollywood to try and rewrite a 3000 year old successful script borders on the line of sheer lunacy.
Mr Benioff is obviously no student of Mythology
