Odysseus And The Trojan Horse

1. Odysseus And The Trojan Horse The term Odysseus comes from Greek mythology about the Trojan War between the Greeks and the people of Troy. When the Greeks reached Troy and the Trojan War started, Odysseus played an influential role as a strategist and advisor for the Greeks. According to the legend, Odysseus was the creator of the Trojan Horse, a huge wooden statue of a horse that was supposed to be a gift to the Trojans from the Greeks as they retreated. The Trojans jubilantly accepted the gift, pulled it into the center of the city and started a celebration around it. When nighttime arrived, the Greek warriors who were hiding inside the hollow body of the horse revealed themselves and massacred the Trojans and won the war. Odysseus became a legendary strategist and his "Trojan Horse" soon evolved as a description of a person or thing intended secretly to undermine or bring about the downfall of an enemy or opponent.
