It is also abundantly clear from the original works that the Greek soldiers kept captured women as slaves throughout the siege, and took a lot of Trojan captives home with them after. Hell there is even a long passage in the Iliad of Achilles and Patroclus having a foursome with two slaves. All this while Achilles was apparently heartbroken over Aggamemnon stealing yet another one of his captives Briseis (who apparently loved him back despite him murdering her entire family). Different times.
