"The captains of the Danaans,
now weak with war and beaten back by fate,
and with so many gliding years gone by,
are able to construct, through the divine
art of Minerva, a mountainous horse.
They weave its ribs with sawed-off beams of fir,
pretending that it is an offering
for safe return. At least, that is their story.
Then in the dark sides of the horse they hide
men chosen from the sturdiest among them;
they stuff their soldiers in its belly, deep
in that vast cavern: Greeks armed to the teeth."
– Aeneas describes the Trojan Horse to Dido, from Book II of Virgil's Aeneid, translated by Allen Mandelbaum (1971)
