The trojan horse was a trick invented by Ulysses/Odysseus in order to sneak the Greeks past the impenetrable walls of Troy. As the story goes, the greeks pretended to give up and packed up their camp and sailed away out of sight of the rest of the Greeks, leaving behind a giant wooden horse. The horse (the symbol of Troy) was taken into the city of Troy as a sign that the Greeks had given up, and all of Troy celebrated the end of ten years of seige. That night, while everyone was sleeping, Greek soldiers crept out of the belly of the horse in which they had been hidden, opened the gates for the rest of the Greek army which had been hiding nearby, and destroyed the city.
