Trojan Horse

"It could be a trick. Like a Trojan horse&mdash;anything could be inside. Approach with caution&mdash;do not get close to be boarded! Just shoot at the ship from afar!"

- King Samuel

The Trojan Horse was a tale from the Trojan War about the subterfuge that the Greeks used to enter the city of Troy and end the conflict. In the canonical version, after a fruitless 10-year siege, the Greeks constructed a huge wooden horse, and hid a select force of men inside. The Greeks pretended to sail away, and the Trojans pulled the horse into their city as a victory trophy. That night the Greek force crept out of the horse and opened the gates for the rest of the Greek army, which had sailed back under cover of night. The Greeks entered and destroyed the city of Troy, decisively ending the war.
