As Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey continues to dominate the big screen, we continue to be amazed by how the director pulled off some of the scenes in the mythical adaptation without using CGI or green screens, including the conquering of Troy.
Anyone who has read Homer's The Odyssey, or The Iliad for that matter, knows how huge the Trojan War really was.
