Christopher Nolan has been thinking about the Trojan Horse for a long time. Years before he adapted Homer’s The Odyssey, Nolan was attached to direct Troy, and he has since revealed that one image from that unrealized project never left him. But while fans have celebrated seeing one of mythology’s most iconic moments realized on an IMAX scale, not everyone believes Nolan captured what the Trojan Horse is really meant to symbolize. Wilson has now published a second essay in The Atlantic, this time focusing specifically on Nolan’s depiction of the Trojan Horse and the moral framework surrounding it. Now if only someone could find an actual ancient Greek military genius clever enough to bring this latest war of words to an end.
