With almost the full cast in attendance, last week’s “The Odyssey” world premiere in London offered more star power than any other event seen in Leicester Square this year. And yet on the night, the likes of Christopher Nolan, Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron and many others were somewhat overshadowed — figuratively and literally — by an extremely large inanimate object.

Standing on two huge hooves just off from the carpet (this one an aquatic-themed blue with added patches of real sand) loomed a giant Trojan Horse well over two storeys high and easily the most impressive promotional prop many attendees had laid eye on.
