“The collapse came swiftly. The end of the war was worthy of its beginning, an infamous deception. And my Trojan people believed what they saw, not what they knew.” (Pg. 135)
The Trojan Horse
“…the Greeks would withdraw! And that they had left standing outside the wall this monster, which all the priests of Athena (to whom the thing was supposedly dedicated) rashly dared to call a ‘horse.’ So this thing was a ‘horse.’ Why so enormous? Who knows? As enormous as the reverence of our beaten foes for Pallas Athena, protectress of our city.” (Pg. 136)
