I think they went with the idea that people know the story pretty much- knowing that he's going to take her when she's going to go with him. Also, the movie is really focused on Achilles and Hector and their battles.

I trip a lot. I'm kind of klutzy even though I'm a dancer. I ripped my Achilles heel, had crutches for a year. It was really embarrassing.

The fact that Achilles is the one to take the initiative (in the Chryse affair) is in itself significant: he feels responsiblity and concern for the cause, and is more quick and zealous than the king himself.
