June 11, 1184 BC is the traditional date given when the Mycenaean Greeks used their secret weapon, the Trojan horse, to gain the advantage and defeat the city of Troy.
The Trojan horse was the design of carpenter Epeius. The large wooden structure was hollow and concealed a number of soldiers inside of it. The Greeks brought this statue to the gates of Troy, leaving it. Their agent Sinon, convinced the Trojans the Greeks had abandoned the war and had left the horse as an offering to the goddess Athena.
Unbeknownst to the Trojans, the Greeks had simply sailed to one of the adjacent islands to wait for the horse to be moved inside the gates of Troy. Once the Trojans moved the offering inside the city walls, the soldiers inside came out, unlocked the gates and let the balance of the Greek army into the city. Now full force, the Greeks proceeded to raze Troy and the war was over. The Trojan horse has been iconic ever since and is often invoked as a metaphor for subversion and stealth.
