A wooden horse offers peace or peril. Will the Trojans accept it?
After a decade-long war, the Greeks retreat, leaving a mysterious wooden horse at Troy's gates. As the Trojans debate its meaning, the fate of their city hangs in the balance. Is this a genuine peace offering or a cunning trap? Discover the legendary tale of deception and strategy that could end the war and change history forever.
For ten years, the battle raged. Thousands of ancient Greece’s best warriors battled their enemies, the Trojans, in a desperate attempt to win back King Meneleus’s beautiful wife, Helen. After a decade of fighting and thousands dead, the Greek forces suddenly fell back. Cautiously the Trojans ventured out of the city walls, where they discovered a giant wooden horse and a messenger. Should they accept this peace offering? Or is the gift horse too good to be true?
