      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.

        Armies travelled with large entourages which included soldiers wives, and plenty of whores for the single men.

        There’s also Odysseus’s stop on Ogygia where he was railing Calypso for seven years.

        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.)

          I really like how Hades has introduced the stories to a lot of people. The witch is a character in Hades 2.
