Sights Visited:
The Trojan Horse
The wooden horse is briefly mentioned only in The ODYSSEY. ( War Trick )
1. Odyssey
It was left behind as an offering to The Goddess ATHENA by The GREEKS.

2. Austrian Prof. Schachermery and Turkish Prof. Ekrem Akurgal said
The wooden horse was an offering to The God Poseidon ( Earthshaker and God of the Sea )
The City walls defended Troy for 10 years and were then destroyed by a violent earthquake The Greeks attacked Troy and conquered it. The Greeks thought that Poseidon had helped them.

3. Michael Wood
The wooden horse might have been built as a battering ram to destroy the walls.
This theory was inspired by an ASSYRIAN relief and seems logical.
The Achaean soldiers tried several times to climb the sloping walls but could not climb the vertical part which was made of mud-brick.
A horse-like battering ram could well have been used against this weak part of the Wall.
4. A wooden tank-like horse could have been used as a big shield to approach the walls

5. A moveable tower from which soldiers jumped on the walls.
