Curious where "no-one turned into a pig" came from? That is an episode from the Odyssey: Circe turned some of Ulysse's companions to pigs. But not the Iliad (Trojan War is in the Iliad). Is the turning-into-pigs a memory from a movie, perhaps a mash-up of the Iliad and Odyssey?

The Odyssey is about Odysseus/Ulysses returning from the Trojan War, so I think it's fair to count it as part of the general Trojan War mythos :)
