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.
