A wooden horse , with a hollow chamber containing Greeks , was brought within the walls of Troy and in the dark of night the Greeks emerged from within the horse to open the gates of the city allowing the enemies of the Trojans entry into the city where defenders were overwhelmed and defeated .
Thus the phrase was born "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts."
