I bumped into it because I got curious about the in-book body count. There is no way that I'd read the grownup version and tally them up on my own and luckily, all the hard work has already been done for us!
The only prob I see is that the little portraits of the "standout performances" heroes has their names rendered in Greek, so it's not immediately obvious which warrior is which. I know a bit about the Cyrillic alphabet (based on Greek) so it was enough to figure out:
Top row: Patroclus; Achilles
2nd row: Diomedes; Agamemmnon
3rd row: Teucer; Paris (<"most useless" LOL)
The Iliad Body Count

The complete dissing and slam on Paris (<our least fave Trojan) gets even better with this comic:
Paris is a Plonker

Trojan War Playset
AND... that's not all... they're even offering a print-it-yourself Trojan War Playset!!! The "Achilles Hut" portion even contains FOUR cut-out "mourning women" so they can cry over Patroclus' death (<which sounds utterly stupid- kidnapped women used as sex slaves crying over one of their captor's death). I'm just DYING... this is so funny! Hours of fun with real or imaginary dialogue, "Oh, Patroclus, you were so good to us!" Sob sob (wails)" Achilles: Cry harder!!! Woman #1: (sisters, this is getting hard to fake... let's cry over own predicament and pretend it's for Patroclus) Women #2,3,4: (right-o sister!) (Cries harder) (for themselves, not Patroclus)
