In Greek mythology, the Trojan horse was a huge, hollow, wooden horse used by the attacking Greeks to gain entrance to the city of Troy, thus ending the Trojan War. Unable to capture the city after a siege of ten years, goddess Athena suggested that that Epeios, a famous sculptor, should construct a fabulous horse of wood, which would be hollowed inside with room for a complement of Greek soldiers. This model was built and the Greeks left Sinon bound in the attitude of sacrifice and the horse standing outside the gates of the city, and pretended to sail away in defeat. Although warned by Laocoon not to accept the gift, Priam, the king of Troy, was persuaded by Sinon that to take the horse into the city would mysteriously make troy invulnerable and had the wooden horse brought into the city. He also freed Sinon. The Trojans spent the night celebrating and toasting the victory over the superior force. Sinon, it was who, when all the Trojans had fallen into a drunken sleep, released the catch on the side of the horse and welcomed his countrymen into the city. The Greek soldiers (Odysseus and Diomedes among them) then silently opened the city gates and signaled to the ships lying off the coast, which they returned. The full Greek force entered the city descending savagely on the surprised and bleary Trojans and slew most of them. King Priam himself fell to Neoptolemos, son of Achilles. The Greeks torched the city and carried off the women and riches. This unique relieve beautifully seizes the moment: It depicts the Trojan horse outside the walls of Troy being carried into the city by the Trojan soldiers. It is made of special plaster by top-notch Greek craftsman and colored by hand. Its dimensions are 13.2(height)x9.4(width) and weighs approximately 4 pounds. It marvelously captures one of the greatest stories of ancient Greek mythology. It has a built-in hanger on the back. Splendid decoration item, excellent gift.
