Right wing Christians seething over Nolan portraying the sack of Troy like a bad thing when Latins and medieval Europeans considered the Trojan Horse to be ur-immoral depict in history with Sinon being Synonymous with lies and depict and the sack of Troy being a moment Moro for entire cities and civilizations. Come on Vergil wrote a whole ass poem about how Italy was descended from the Trojans. Even in Greek myths the Gods punished the vast majority of the mcyeans who fled Troy due to their desecration of sacred monuments. It was pretty common even in the ancient world to atleast entertain the idea that Helen willingly eloped even (see Herodotus).
