* AdaptationDyeJob: The comic changes most of the characters whom are described in the myths as having light hair to black. Achilles has always been described as ''xanthos'' (a tern that essentially means light haired that covers hair colour from very light brown to ginger) but in this version, he has black hair. Agamemnon, Helen, Odysseus and even Hercules are supposed to have blond or red hair. The only one who seems to have Iliad accurate hair is Menelaus

* ArtShift: Whenever someone is telling a story and there is a flashback to the event this will occur. The first sack of Troy has a cartoony look to it. What makes this particular art shift so noticeable is that this is the only time we ever see Hesione. Even when Priam brings her up in Betrayal Part One that features an image of Helen on one side of him and an image of Hesione on the other, Hesione looks the same she does in the art shift in contrast to Helen who is drawn in the more realistic style that comic is usually in.

* ShownTheirWork: Shanower researched the architecture and clothing, resulting in something that looks different from other UsefulNotes/TrojanWar adaptations without it seeming like it was set in an entirely different era. The most notable bit isn't the clothing or the architecture; rather it is the face of Agamemnon, which is designed to look like the Mask of Agamemnon discovered by Heinrich Schliemann in 1876.

Agamemnon and Menelaus have the same facial traits but with different hair color and hairstyle. Clytemnestra looks like an older and plumper version oh Helen.

Iphigenia is lured to Aulis under false pretences and duly sacrificed, to the protest of few.

** Menelaus pressures Agamemnon to sacrifice his daughter like the gods requested despite being the one who wants most of all to sail fro Troy (at that point Agamemnon himself wants to back off) ''and'' argues that it's not his fault if the gods requested this sacrifice. ''Both'' Agamemnon and Clytemnestra tell him he should go and get the damn wife back without bothering others.
