Why the fuck did the Trojans fall for that stupid ass horse trick?
 

They had battlements; didn't they notice enemy soldiers building a fucking horse and stuffing it full of weapons?

myth, just like 99% of the bible

Come to think of it, why is a condom named trojan?

why do you guys keep bringin up the Roxx story??

because you hide all of the little sperm soldiers inside of it

because it carries a nasty suprise within :Graucho

its a fuckin myth u moron

Hindsight is 20/20.

yeah - once it's within the walls, all the guys inside spill out and attack

:1orglaugh

They could of stuffed it at night. Then delivered it in the morning...

Horse could of been built offshore then shipped back? But then again how could they have an invincible hero who just gets killed my taking an arrow under his foot .

read the story and you'll see that it was concidered as a gift

Why did americans fall for that stupid weapons of mass destruction trick?

that is how it was done. The Trojans saw them building the horse, they just did not know it was going to be hollow and filled with soldiers.

In fact, as I recall, there was one Trojan that did not trust it, and wanted to check it out, but some chick dissuaded him or the majority, and they went ahead and brought it inside the walls.

I have not read the Illiad in a while, and the Odyssey only touches on it very briefly.

The trojan horse if from Greek mythology, not the bible.

"If we build a big, wooden badger..."

Its sad when people think the Trojan Horse is from the bible :(

All myths have their basis in real history. Greeks and Trojans
were real people, Troy was a real city, with a real war. It's just
most of the facts have been forgotten and the stories evolved
over the years as they were passed orally.

Fiction did seem to flourish in ancient Greece however all fiction
has it's base in the real world. They loved a good story.

For a long time people believed Troy never existed however it did
and has been found and excavated. There were some 7 cities
built on the same site over the centuries.

It's entirely possible the Trojan horse is a metaphor for the
political situation of the time and the outcome of the war.

In reality maybe the horse never existed. However with walls 16-
17 feet thick and a 10 year siege, I'd find it easy to believe that
the Greeks built some kind of siege engine to help with their
assault of the walls. This story would have been a little flat and I
can understand people retelling it giving the horse a quality of it's
own as if it alone won the war.

I guess the fabled reason the people of Troy fell for it is their
pride and greed, which made it easy for them to accept. I guess
politics would have also played a part and they wouldn't have
wanted to bring more instability by refusing the gift. I'm sure if
the horse ever existed as it does in the stories then it wouldn't
have been the rushed bang together job we see in the movies
but instead would have been a work of art made to impress not
only with it's size but workmanship. Truth is it was probably just
a war-machine built to defeat the cities walls.

I said "just like the bible" not "just like in the bible" you stupid fuck.

You appear to have a problem with reading comprehension or English.

its all a lie

Ever read any of the bible?

The few bible stories you were probably told as a kid are not
good examples. Most of the bible is really boring, really
straightforward history. Shit there are whole sections dedicated
to nothing but listing family names and their status. It's one of
the better history chronicles ever put together. Gotta look past
that feather weight section at the back called the new testament
and flick through some of the earlier pages.

Heh heh:glugglug

That is true. This is why The Old Testament is honored by Jews, Muslims and Christians alike (although it is called different names in each faith).

As a historical reference the bible can't be beat.

The New Testament is pure propaganda.

Translation: somebody done shit in my corflakes this morning.
