L. Hardwick and C. Stray, edd., Blackwell Companion to Classical Receptions (Oxford 2011): 5. — “Once value is decoupled from one-directional transmission through time, then the cultural authority of the ancient work and hence of concepts such as ‘authenticity’ and ‘faithfulness’ is bound to be changed in some degree, although the question of how the reception relates to its Greek and/or Roman springboard is still vital.”

J. Solomon, "The Vacillations of the Trojan Myth: popularization & classicization, variation & codification," International Journal of the Classical Tradition, 14 (2007) 482 - 534. JSTOR — "Because the subject of authenticity in contemporary popular cinema ... is of considerable complexity, this paper addresses only the specific but widely repeated criticism that Petersen's Troy, which, again, claims in the credits only to be 'inspired by Homer's Iliad,' does not accurately represent Homer's Iliad." (489).
