The Trojan Horse Remake

Author's Note: The reason I wrote about Achilles because I believe he was one of the more important characters to the Trojan War.

In the original story Achilles is a Greek warrior that is in the trojan horse with the other Greeks. He ends up murdering Hector and strapping him to the back of his chariot and rides around Troy 3 times. After all this Achilles is shot in ankle with an arrow which is his weak spot and falls in battle. In the modern version of the play Achilles doesn't go into the horse he simply goes behind it. Also instead of him trying Hector to the back of his chariot and riding around Troy 3 times he just stabbed him 3 times.

Some things that were the same in this story was that Achilles was still shot in the ankle and killed but it was not by an archer. Things that were different were that he didn't go into the horse and he didn't ride around Troy with Hector on his chariot. This was a good remake into a modern version because it made everyone in this story act like it was modern yet they were still part of the Trojan War.
