The story of the Trojan Horse is one of the most enduring tales from Greek mythology. It recounts how the Greeks successfully deceived the Trojans and gained entry into their impenetrable fortress. As the war between the two great civilizations raged on, the Greeks devised a cunning plan: they constructed a massive wooden horse and hid inside it a select group of soldiers. Presenting the horse as a peace offering, they left it at the gates of Troy and pretended to retreat. The unsuspecting Trojans joyfully accepted the gift, unaware that enemy soldiers were lurking within. Under the cover of darkness, the Greek soldiers emerged and opened the gates for their comrades, resulting in the fall of Troy. The Trojan Horse teaches us the importance of vigilance and the consequences of underestimating one’s foes.#34#
