The Wooden Horse. The Trojan Horse.
The Victory Weapon of the Spartans. The only reason why we know who the
victor is from 10 year Trojan War.
It's bizarre how they didn't suspect such kindness from the enemies. If I were the Troys, I probably would have. We even question random gifts from strangers, how much more if it's from the enemies of 10 year battle. There will always be an ulterior motive. People always want something in return. They just don't randomly do good stuff for people. It's very debatable but for sure, it's not just me. They want to make you feel like you owe them something because in that way, it makes it easier for them to ask you favors. But besides the idea, it's cool how Odysseus thought of such strategy. After all, it is the winning strategy.
The point of such strategy is that, things and people aren't what they seem. There will be a greater or lesser story to everything. Don't trust easily. It will result to such destruction. Don't be a fool the Troys were but be as wise as the Spartans.

In the tenth year of the Trojan War, despairing
at their inability to take the city by storm, the Greeks resorted to a cunning
little stratagem. The central part of the plan devised by who else
but Odysseus included the construction of an enormous wooden horse.
Almost everybody knows why it had been built and who lay hidden inside the
hollow belly of the statue. Once the Wooden Horse had been
built, Odysseus proceeded to persuade the bravest and the most skillful
of the Greek warriors present at Troy to climb, fully armed, into its
belly. Some say that there were 23 of them, while others speculate with numbers
between 30 and 50. Either way, one thing is for sure, it's one big horse.
