No that's different. everybody knows that the Titanic sank, but not everyone has read The Odyssey. They teach the former in school, and the latter isn't always required reading.

    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

    (My fave is still the one with Armand Assante)
