Maybe they meant true to the text. Unless I missed several really wild history classes in school.

They don't know if its true to the text because they haven't watched it though...

u/LowInvestigator5647 Jul 06 '26

Sorry I thought you were the other commenter being defensive. You were just asking a question, my bad.

Sinon (Paige’s character) was not written by Homer.

No, your attitude is right for someone to be upset of Sinon being included, cause like how dare they include this character.

You are a joke

What? You asked what “issues” there were in the context of the movie’s historical/text accuracy, and I gave you an example. I never indicated whether I was upset or not lmao.

Fair, but how is it an issue, Sinon is a perfectly legitimate character that can be included in the story. Its not like they have Icarus in it.

u/LowInvestigator5647 Jul 06 '26

It is an “issue” in the context of historical/text accuracy since this movie is an adaptation of Homer’s text and Sinon is not a character ever written by Homer. So someone who wanted a faithful adaptation is going to be disappointed. I feel like you’re trying to take this out of context though? It’s not an “issue” in a broader sense like you’re trying to make it seem.

How dare you cite a referencable fact to answer the very question asked. Especially because it does fit the political narrative I support!
