I liked it. I had never considered the perspective of the Trojan Horse being a fundamental betrayal of theoxeny. Every other interpretation I'd seen/read seemed to focus more on the games being played between the Gods. The story makes more sense now.
Was this interpretation a fresh invention by Nolan and team? It's certainly a very neat way of tieing everything together when you got a running time to worry about.
I think the focus was fresh. In retrospect, it's an obvious interpretation given cultural context. Just never seen it presented that way. Also given cultural context, probably.
No, Nolan adapted it from a book.
