TBF that’s only one of the stories. Personally I didn’t even know that it came from The Odyssey until I saw the film. Anecdotal; I know, I know.

Technically speaking the horse is more illiad, but the number of people who know about blinding the cyclops as “nobody” or other events are pretty high. They make a new movie or game or miniseries every so often
