what was the trojan horse​

The Trojan Horse is a legendary story from ancient Greek mythology.

It is a tale associated with the events of the Trojan War, a conflict between the Greeks and the Trojans.

According to the story, after a long siege, the Greeks devised a cunning plan to enter the heavily fortified city of Troy.

The Greeks pretended to withdraw their forces, leaving behind a large wooden horse as an apparent offering to the gods for a safe return home.

This wooden horse, known as the Trojan Horse, was hollow and filled with Greek soldiers hidden inside.

The Trojans, believing the Greeks had given up the fight and left the horse as a peace offering, brought the horse into the city as a symbol of victory.

However, during the night, the Greek soldiers hidden inside the horse emerged, opened the city gates, and allowed the Greek army, which had returned under the cover of darkness, to enter Troy.

The Greeks then sacked the city, leading to the eventual fall of Troy.

The term "Trojan Horse" has since become a metaphor for a deceptive trick or strategy, where a seemingly benign or beneficial thing is used to hide a malicious intent.
