The Trojan Horse

The Trojan Horse
The famous Trojan Horse used by Greeks to enter the Troy and win the War after a fruitless 10-year siege. The best warriors was hidden in it: Odysseus (was not seen on Xena), Menelaus, Diomedes. Greeks sails away and leave the Horse. Trojans took it as a victory trophy. Xena suspected something, but others was so happy about the "End of the War" and pulled it to the city, then get drunk. Greeks set the Troy on fire the same night. Metaphorically, a "Trojan Horse" has come to mean any trick or stratagem that causes a target to invite a foe into a securely protected bastion or place. A malicious computer program which tricks users into willingly running it is also called a "Trojan horse" or simply a "Trojan". There is a famous Virgil's line about these event: "Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes" which means "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts". The episode was called after it.
