EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the legendary Trojan Horse, an iconic symbol of ancient Greek mythology and history. The Trojan Horse is most famously described in Homer's epic poem, The Iliad, as a clever ruse devised by the Greeks to infiltrate and sack the city of Troy during the Trojan War. The story goes that the Greeks, after a fruitless nine-year siege, built a large wooden horse and filled it with elite soldiers. The Greeks then pretended to sail away, leaving the horse behind as a peace offering. The Trojans, believing the war was over, brought the horse within their city walls, only to be ambushed by the Greek soldiers hidden within. This print beautifully captures the moment of deception, with the Trojan Horse standing tall against the backdrop of Troy's city walls. Soldiers can be seen emerging from the horse's belly, poised to strike. The intricate details of the wooden horse and the expression of shock and disbelief on the faces of the Trojans convey the drama and tension of the moment. The Iliad, an ancient Greek epic poem attributed to Homer, is one of the most important works of Western literature. It tells the story of the Trojan War and its aftermath, and has had a profound influence on Western culture. The Trojan Horse is one of its most enduring symbols, representing the power of deception and the unpredictability of war. This print is a stunning reminder of the rich history and mythology of ancient Greece, and is a must-have for anyone with an interest in classical studies, history, or mythology.
