Best Answer

It is a famous story from Greek myth/history in the Bronze Age or thereabouts. Greeks and Trojans were at war for many years. Greeks made the Trojan horse as a trick - filled it with warriors, then left it as a 'gift' at Troy's impregnable gates & pretended to withdraw. The Trojans fell for it, the warriors poured out, and Troy was destroyed.
