Do you remember that huge wooden horse that the Greeks left outside the gates of Troy during the Trojan War? If not, here’s a refresher: The Greeks and the Trojans were fighting a bitter war. The Greeks pretended to withdraw and sail away from Troy, leaving an enormous wooden horse behind. And the Trojans, thinking this was a sign they had won the war, pulled the horse into their city and celebrated, not suspecting that a select force of Greek soldiers was hiding inside.
