EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the legendary moment when the Greeks, in their cunning plan to conquer Troy after the death of Hector, dragged the colossal Trojan Horse into the city. The Iliad, an ancient Greek epic poem, recounts the events leading up to this pivotal moment in history. Hector, a Trojan prince and the primary antagonist in the Iliad, had been slain by Achilles, leaving Troy without its greatest warrior. Desperate for victory, the Greeks devised an ingenious plan. They constructed a massive wooden horse, hollowed out and filled with their best soldiers. The Greeks then retreated from the battlefield, leaving the Trojans to believe they had been victorious. The Trojans, elated by their supposed victory, celebrated and brought the wooden horse into their city as a trophy. Unbeknownst to them, the Greeks had hidden themselves within the horse, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. As the Trojans grew complacent, the Greek soldiers emerged from the horse and sacked Troy, marking the end of the Trojan War. This print is a testament to the rich history and mythology of ancient Greece, a time when heroes and gods walked amongst mortals, and legends were born. The Trojan Horse remains a symbol of deception and cunning, a reminder of the lengths people will go to achieve their goals. This image is a must-have for any history or mythology enthusiast, and a beautiful addition to any home or office.
