Trivia
The footage where the Trojan people bring in the Trojan Horse comes from Helen of Troy (1956).

Goofs
Though Tony and Doug meet the ancient Greek warrior Odysseus, he is called here by the name the Romans would only give him centuries after his death: Ulysses. Also the Greek gods Zeus, Hera, Athena and Aphrodite are referred to as their later Roman equivalents: Jupiter, Juno, Minerva and Venus.

Quotes

[swordfight ensues, Paris is quickly bested]
Paris: Ulysses, let me live, please! Please let me live!

Beware of Greek Gifts

Doug and Tony are transported to 1200 BC in the middle of the war between Greeks and Trojans. They are captured by Ulysses' men and their knowledge of history makes Ulysses believe that they are gods from the Olympus. When Doug is captured by the traitor Sardis and brought to Troy, he meets Helen of Troy and proves to Paris that he might be a god. Meanwhile Tony witnesses the construction of the Trojan Horse and joins the team that will break in Troy inside the horse to rescue Helen and Doug.

"Revenge of the Gods" is an engaging episode of this series supported by a great work of edition with the use of footages of "The 300 Spartans" and 1956 "Helen of Troy". The greatest flaws are the language, since Tony and Doug speaks English only, and the use of the Roman names of the gods instead of their Greek names. However, despite these inconsistencies, this entertaining episode is still one of the best of The Time Tunnel. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "O Túnel do Tempo" ("The Time Tunnel")
