I still don't see how it could have worked. Were the Trojans retarted?
Trojan1: Hey, a wooden horse! It is just large enough to fit 300 Greek soldiers inside!
Trojan2: Why, yes it is! They must really fear and respect us now!
Trojan1: Indeed. Lets bring it inside and not guard it.
Trojan2: Ok, go for burgers?
Trojan1: Nah, I'm broke. I'm just going to go to sleep, like all the other guards.
Trojan2: Good idea, the Greeks just gave up, and we need a rest after 10 years.
Trojan1: 'night.
Trojan2: 'night.
Greek1: Holy shit! This is working?
Greek158: Ya, WTF!
Greek78: I thought the whole idea was stupid. Lets wait about an hour, and then slaughter them in their sleep.
Greek258: Deal. Burgers afterwards?
You know that is hard to believe. But this is how it went down. Burgers included.
Give your own versions of the story in your reply if you want.
"Look; it's a bloody great horse with space for three hundred Greeks in it!"
"'S got airholes and everything: they thought we'd be fooled by that?"
"Get our men out here: let's destroy it."
Meanwhile, the Greeks were going 'round the back and pillaging and burning the city in a cunning ambush.
Paraphrased from Terry Prattchet's Eric, really.
Trojan 1: Dude, sweet! Huge fuckin' horse!
Trojan 2: ... What?
Trojan 1: Errr... I mean... Look, friend! The Greeks have given us a horse as tribute in thier surrender!
Trojan 2: Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's a trap. That Odysseus is a sneaky bastard. Prob'ly full of Greeks.
Trojan 1: Nonsense. They ran away!
Trojan 2: Dude, haven't you ever heard the saying "never trust Greeks bearing gifts" before?
Trojan 1: Silly comrade, that saying won't be invented until after they get inside the city with thier big wooden horse, rape, pillage, plunder, murder us, rape our corpses, raze the city, sow the ruins with sal- wait, no, that's Carthage, and-
Trojan 2: Dude! You just said it! There are Greeks in there!
Trojan 1: I said nothing of the sort. Open the gates!
Trojan 2: ... Gods... You're an idiot, I hate you, and I'm getting the hell out of here...
Trojan 1: Fine. More wooden horsey for me!
Meanwhile, inside the horse...
Odysseus: Dude... Who's touching my leg... And what's that slapping sound!?
Menelaus: ... You have such smooth skin...
Odysseus: Alright, fuck you, man. After this is over, I'll just... sail around the ocean for a while and say it's Poseidon's fault...
Menelaus: What about your wife?
Odysseus: Fuck her. What, it's not like a bunch of guys are going to try marrying her or anything.
It is kinda hard for me to say a different story of what happened although I do like Herr-Mullen's story. I find it funny that Laocoon who said it was a trap was killed by the gods immediantly, by sending snakes up to eat him. I quess after seeing Laocoon that they decided the gods wanted. As for a story that doens't involve the gods,well the horse was probably flung outside the castle walls like in monty python or the horse never existed.
How bout this for a theory?
It's a story that was written by a Greek who thought Trojans were goddamn idiots.
Are calling Homer a lier, besides I'm sure the greeks wanted to make the war sound a bit more interesting than just a 10 year war.
Trojan: Wow, a horse! Nevermind that the Greeks are our sworn enemies and that they are very cunning and intelligent; we'll take on a hollow, massive wooden horse with no questions asked!
Greeks: Woah, they actually fell for it? Dumbasses.
Other Greeks: Cheers! *Drinking heavily*
*Few hours later*
Greeks in horse: K, so what now?
Other Greeks in horse: Kill!
Greeks in horse: K.
*Pillage*

Hey have you all heard of honor by any chance. Even though the Greeks and the Trojan were at war they fought honorbly till the Greeks choose to do a fake peace offering.
People back then did not go back on their word very rarely did they even if it was wrong for the worse for their subjects.
True it was probally more like they thought it was a peace offering and were going to send one of their own back when they woke up in the morning.

We're talking about Greek myths, not the Bible!
