Troy: Odysseus Didn’t Invent the Umbrella
Sure, we can credit this hero with the Trojan horse, but an umbrella? When Orlando Bloom pulls out his funny pink parasol in this epic tale, it elicits some laughs but also makes historians and classicists everywhere cringe.
You see, that type of umbrella wasn’t invented by the ancient Greeks until 500 BCE, a whopping 800 years after Troy was conquered. That’d be like a steam-powered train crashing through a medieval castle. It’s OK though Orlando—you still look good, and we’ll forgive you somehow.
