>9 years into the war and Priam needs Helen to sit down and explain to him who each king of the enemy army (Agamemnon, Odysseus, Menelaus) he is fighting is

Did Priam have dementia? Wtf?

He’s also pretty homoerotic with his descriptions of the enemy kings if you think about it, especially Agamemnon.

“So who’s that tall, muscular guy over there? That guy must be a famous warrior! uWu”

The Syrian War went on for longer and I don't assume either Joe or Trump could name the Top Ten of all agents down there.

Priam failed to recognize Agamemnon. He was the Joe Biden of Greece.
>>
>>23819680
Being an old man who haven't travelled for decades, Priam cannot actually know the Achean leadership by face. He literally never met them in person. The whole shitshow starts with Paris going on an embassy to Sparta in Priam's stead.

That’s actually not true. He did meet Menelaus and Odysseus when they came to plead for Paris to return Helen.
>>
>>23820354
Fair point, but even then - he saw them without panoply.

People call it hack writing when vidya NPC give you exposition dumps about things that should be well known in universe. Homer approved.

how can paris and helen live with themselves

I just presumed that Priam wasn't really ruling and Hector was taking care of all affairs.

Paris moreso than Helen. Helen is really very clear in the poem how much she hates Paris and wants Menelaus back. Technically, she didn’t really leave Sparta of her own will because Aphrodite hypnotized her to leave with Paris using her magic because Paris had chosen her as winner of the contest.

It’s so we can self-insert as these Chad warrior-kings.
