Trojan Horse
Uploaded: October 04, 2008
Taken in Istanbul, Turkey, July 2008, Trojan Horse, at the Istanbul Archaeological Museum
The Trojan Horse was part of the Trojan War, as told in Virgil's Latin epic poem The Aeneid. The events of this take place after Homer's Iliad, and before Homer's Odyssey.
When the Greeks had lain siege to Troy for ten years, without results, they pretended to retreat. They left behind a huge wooden horse, in which a number of Greek heroes, among whom Odysseus, had hidden themselves. The spy Sinon convinced the Trojans, despite the warnings of Laocoon, to move the horse inside the city as a war trophy. In the following night, the Greeks left the wooden horse and attacked the unsuspecting and celebrating Trojans, and finally conquered Troy.
