Trojan Horse

What is a Trojan Horse I hear you ask, well let me take you back in time to the days of the trojan war where the Greeks and trojans fought for the city of Troy.

After lots of failed attempts by the Greeks to take over the city, a Greek king decided it might be a good idea to build a huge wooden horse big enough for a group of soldiers to hide in.

The Greek army then appeared to surrender and retreat leaving a horse as a gift for the god Athena, so as not to upset the god the trojans decided to take the horse within the city wall and have a good old victory party.

Once they had all fell asleep after a night of frivolity the Greek soldiers emerged from the wooden horse and killed the trojans guarding the wall and in entered the rest of the Greek army to win the war.
