What was the trojan horse?
The trojan horse was a giant horse made of wood that had been designed by Odysseus. The Acheans left the horse at the gates then sailed away. Thinking it was a victory present the trojans took the horse into their gates. lLttle did they know Odysseus and about thirty others were hidden inside the stomach of the horse. They then crept out and whilst they trojans were sleeping opened the gates for the achean army which had sailed back during the night. The citizens were then massacred whilst they slept.
