| Helen of Troy is a television miniseries based upon Homer's story of the Trojan War, as recounted in the epic poem, The Iliad. This TV miniseries also shares the name with a 1956 movie staring Stanley Baker. It stars Sienna Guillory as Helen, Matthew Marsden as Paris, Rufus Sewell as Agamemnon, John Rhys-Davies as Priam, former Bond girl Maryam d'Abo as Hecuba, and Stellan Skarsgård as Theseus. Like the film before it, this adaptation makes several departures from the original story, including showing Paris as a heroic leader, in contrast to the coward shown in Homer (as well as in Troy), as well as portraying Achilles as a brute. This film depicts the events of the story in the fashion of an early classical period. The Greeks are shown in classical hoplite equipment as opposed to the early Bronze Age equipment we might expect. Made on a relatively low budget, it was released at a time when interest in the subject was high, due to the soon to be released Troy, starring Brad Pitt.
