Who's who: The Greeks

Premiering on Netflix on April 6 is Troy: Fall of a City.

At first glance it may appear overwhelming - SO many characters with exotic multi-syllable names, with most of the men sporting the same standard 12th century facial hair; the wild beard.

Don't fret, by the second hour, you'll be able to tell them apart, know how to pronounce all their names plus you'll have developed strong feelings about each of them.

To help you get started, here's a quick guide to The Greeks:

The King of Sparta, Menelaus, played by Jonas Armstrong (Robin Hood, Edge of Tomorrow, Ripper Street) is married to:


The Queen of Sparta, Helen, played by Bella Dayne (Humans)

They have a daughter, Hermione, (far right) played by Grace Hogg-Robinson (The Coroner).




Her dad (Menelaus) is hoping to marry her off to Paris, son of the King Priam of Troy.

Instead?
Paris falls in love with her mom.
The worst!

Helen runs away with Paris (Prince of Troy) causing A Kerfuffle For the Ages.

Erhhhm, understandably, Menelaus wants his wife back.

So he talks to his bro; King Agamemnon
... played by Johnny Harris (Jawbone, Welcome to the Punch)




Agamemnon calls his pals, Odysseus (played by Joseph Mawle; Ripper Street, Game of Thrones):





and Achilles (played by David Gyasi, Interstellar and Cloud Atlas)





... to help him get Helen back for his lil bro. He will do ANYTHING to accomplish this goal.
Anything.

Just an amazing cast. These Greek guys will capture your attention and have you cheering, cringe-ing or crying.
