Abstract

A chapter from the book "The Story of Troy" is presented. It discusses the strategy used by the Greeks to destroy the city of Troy. Odysseus and shipbuilder, Epeius, took in charge of building a huge wooden horse, where the Greeks' best soldiers could hide. They left the wooden horse outside the Trojan walls, in hopes of entering the city undetected. The Trojans believed the lie told by a Greek named Sinon that the horse was an offering to Athena.
