   If any portion of the Trojan horse myth is true, the Trojans were some stupid people.

   “In 200 metres (yes, metres not meters !!), at the roundabout …”

   We navigated (I use the term lightly) using the GPS on my phone on a visit to the UK … my son, who was driving, nearly throttled me on a number of occasions.

   Stupid? Because they unquestioningly venerated a religious object? Golly, nobody TODAY would ever do that!

   The whole story of the Trojan horse is probably a misunderstanding. Caesar’s account of the Gallic War describes a siege tower made of wood frame covered with horse hides, built at a safe distance from the besieged city and carried (not wheeled) to its wall by men inside. He does not describe its shape, but the shape of a horse’s head and neck would be logical. This might well be described as a “wooden horse”, by means of which soldiers got inside the wall.

   It’s a good joke though. If it’s based on a misunderstanding, that only adds to the joke.

   That’s cool, but the story of the Trojan horse is supposed to happen during the Trojan War that supposedly occurred in the 13th or 12th century BC, and it is mentioned in The Odyssey which is thought to be written in the 8th century BC. That’s several centuries before the Roman Empire and in particular before the birth of Julius Caesar (100 BC) and before the Gallic Wars (58 BC).

    Still, it is plausible. And technology didn’t change so quickly back in those days.
