A model of the legendary Trojan Horse. In the Iliad, when the Greeks are unable to break into Troy using force, they construct a hollow horse and place a small number of Greek soldiers inside, leaving it outside the gates of Troy. The rest of the army hides away, and Troy takes the horse into the city walls. At night, the Greek soldiers climb out of the horse and open the city’s gates from the inside so the Greeks can continue their attack. Our guide was doubtful that the story was historically accurate, given that the Grecian army would have had to hide pretty far away if they wanted to convince Troy they weren’t around. In the time it would have taken them to get from their hiding place to the city, the Trojan soldiers could have easily taken out the few Greeks who were inside the horse and closed the gates again. A convincing argument, but the world may never know!
