Why the Trojan horse? It was made out of what they had available.
That's what I came in here to know about. Like, wasn't it wood? Didn't it do a great job?
The Trojan horse wasn't made of Trojans, like the Spruce Goose wasn't made of Spruce. Nor was it made by Trojans nor filled with Trojans.
The name is misleading.
Usually horses aren't giant, nor are they made out of wood and Greeks.
