The Trojan Horse is the wooden horse from the Trojan War used by the Greeks to enter the city of Troy and win the war. There is no Trojan Horse in Homer's Iliad, with the poem ending before the War is concluded. But in the Aeneid by Virgil, after a fruitless 10-year siege, the Greeks at the behest of Odysseus constructed a huge wooden horse and hid a select force of men inside, including Odysseus himself. The Greeks pretended to sail away, and the Trojans pulled the horse into their city as a victory trophy.
