The film draws historical and philosophical parallels to comment on modern societal trust issues.
Prior to the release of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, I’m not sure many of us would have conceived of the Trojan Horse as a kind of proto-atomic bomb, the sort of norm-obliterating device from which civilisation cannot turn back. [...] And looking back from the point of view of our post-fall of Troy world, politeness no longer seems like the vaguely pathetic instruction that we mind our p’s and q’s. Instead it’s a bond, a default approach of care that says, the other is not a demon, but possibly a God in disguise.
