Lots of people know about the Trojan War and the best part of the war, the Trojan horse. The Greek people and the people of Troy had been fighting for a while. The city of Troy had always won, beating Greece. Finally the people of Greece had enough of loosing in battle, the began to think of ways to conquer Troy. They came up with the idea of the Trojan Horse. The Greek built the horse and brought it to the gates of Troy. Then they looked like they were sailing back to Greece (they were not). When they Trojans brought the horse inside their city because they thought it was a gift, they didn't give it a second thought. After night had fallen the 40 or so soldiers that were hiding in the horse, let the other soldiers that were waiting outside into the city. The Greek people than captured the city and finally the Trojan War was on Greece's side.
Do you think that the Trojans should have looked the horse over more to make sure it was not a trap?
Yes I do think that they should look the horse over more because then they would've been sure that it wasn't a trap. It was an impressive idea that they used to defeat the Trojans. Especially since that they were losing the war. I knew that the Greek defeated the Trojans (that time) but what I didn't know that they were losing the war. If you were chosen to help devise a plan to defeat the Trojans would you have thought of to use the horse?
ReplyDeleteI think that they should have looked the horse over more carefully. They should not have just thought it was a gift. I don't think that was really a smart idea because Troy and Greece were at war for a while now. It would've been weird if they suddenly just decided to give them a gift. They should have at least talked to the Greeks and asked them if they sincerely were giving the gift and why they were. Then again they would probably just lie to Troy anyway. What do you think the Trojans should have done?
