Document Summary
Tells the story about how the greeks defeated troy. Greeks managed to build a wooden horse and acted as if it was an offering to help them get a safe return: this was the story that was spread. However, secretly they placed the soldiers in the belly of the horse with armed men. The trojan"s believed the greeks were headed back for greece, so they opened up the gates of the city. Thyomoetes encouraged the men to bring the horse inside their walls and place it within their citadel, but others said that the gift was not to be trusted. Trojan"s saw lacoon"s death by the serpents as karma for violating the horse; they shout that the horse must be led into the city. Horse is put in the city of troy. The trojans were ready to go to bed. Meanwhile, sinon sneakily opened the pine bolts of the horse and released the greeks trapped inside of its belly.
