While leaked clips were pulled down hours after they went viral on the internet, netizens managed to watch them in time. The Odyssey prologue begins with the iconic Trojan Horse being hauled into the city of Troy. It is being pulled by men over wooden logs while the Trojan soldiers are hidden inside. As the Trojan guards pierce swords into the horse, the soldiers narrowly miss the attack. In a heroic moment, the soldiers emerge from the horse and attack the Troy army. The prologue seems to be narrated by Menelaus to Telemachus, who says, “Well, you know the rest.”
