10 years were fighting a war, most definitely with some "spoils" of war
Eventually, yes. But it took them 10 years just to breach the outer wall. They had to wait a decade before partaking in any spoils.
Consenting spoils I hope 🫣
Or maybe some CNC stuff that'd be pretty hot actually.
In the movie, I don't specifically remember them showing that (but might be mistaken, they certainly did loot Troy), but
Minor spoiler if you care
One witch character curses his men and turns them into pigs because she believes they would have stolen from her and had their way with her. Odysseus very specifically uses the argument that they didn't do those things to her while convincing her to change them back. So take as you will. You could interpret this as Odysseus's men not being rapists. But I don't really remember the dialogue or flashbacks super well, I might be forgetting something. All that said, even if it didn't happen on screen, I don't really think there's a specific reason to believe they didn't do it off screen based on the overall tone and theme of the movie.(It's been a long time since I read the story, so it may have been different.)
