About the Anniversary of the Trojan War in 1184 BC
Ends: Jun 11, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
June 11, 1184, BC is 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 designed by carpenter Epeius. The large wooden structure was hollow and concealed several soldiers inside 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 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 in full force, the Greeks razed Troy, and the war ended. The Trojan horse has been iconic ever since and is often invoked as a metaphor for subversion and stealth.
