A Trojan Horse is a giant wood horse that was given to the enemy. They thought it was a gift, until they were attacked by their enemies. The same goes for the virus, it seems harmless at first until your computer is destroyed.

Did Poseidon help Odysseus?

Yes. Poseidon greatly favoured the Greeks in the Trojan war, and in some versions he is said to have given Odysseus the idea for the Trojan horse.


What did Hera do to the Trojan Horse?

Hera did not directly interact with the Trojan Horse in the mythological accounts of the Trojan War. However, she played a significant role in the war's overall context, as she was one of the goddesses who supported the Greeks against the Trojans. The Trojan Horse was primarily attributed to the cunning of Odysseus, who devised the plan to infiltrate Troy. Hera's involvement was more about her influence and support for the Greek side rather than any actions regarding the horse itself.


Did Persian soldiers defeat Troy in a wooden horse?

No, Persian soldiers did not defeat Troy in a wooden horse. The story of the wooden horse is part of Greek mythology, specifically the tale of the Trojan War, where the Greeks used a deceptive wooden horse to infiltrate the city of Troy. The Persians are not involved in this story; they are a different historical entity that rose to prominence later, long after the events of the Trojan War.


Why do the Achaeans took so long to defeat the Trojans?

We do not know much about the actual timing of the Trojan War, so this will focus on what is written in The Iliad and The Odyssey. The first issue is that the beachhead was difficult for the Greeks to take. The ground was strongly sloped and the Trojans had the high-ground. The second major issues is that Ancient Greeks did not have sophisticated siege weaponry, which meant that it was effectively impossible for them to breach the Trojan Walls surrounding the city until Odysseus came up with the idea of the Trojan Horse, which allowed for the Trojans to "self-breach" the city walls.
