....Trojans 1--316
Part of the legends of the Trojan War
The city of Troy was under the command of King Priam and his sons, Prince Hector and Prince Paris, who was a major cause of the war by kidnapping Helen, Queen of Sparta, and the wife of Menelaus, brother of Agamemnon, son of Atreus.
The legend tells that the Greeks' siege of Troy lasted ten years in vain, so the Greeks invented a new trick, a huge, hollow wooden horse that was built under the supervision of Epios in three days. It was filled with Greek warriors led by Odysseus As for the rest of the army, it appeared as if he had left, while in reality he was hiding behind Tyndos, and the Trojans accepted the horse as a peace offer. A Greek spy, named Sinon, convinced the Trojans that the horse was a gift, despite the warnings of Laocoön and Cassandra. Helen and Dephobus even examined the horse, so the king ordered it to be brought into the city in a great celebration.
The Trojans celebrated the lifting of the siege and rejoiced, and when the Greeks got off the horse inside the city at night, the residents were drunk, so the Greek warriors opened the city gates to allow the rest of the army to enter, so they plundered the city without mercy, killed all the men, and took all the women and children as slaves.
A huge wooden horse statue stands on the marina in the small coastal city of Çanakkale, located southwest of Istanbul. This statue is nothing but a model of the famous legendary Trojan horse. Some may recognize this horse specifically because it participated in the 2004 movie “Troy.”
The Trojan Horse is the largest wooden horse in history, with a length of 108 meters and a weight of 3 tons, making it the strongest wooden horse in the world.
