gmartin: Maybe the Greeks managed to hire some mercenaries who knew how to build a siege engine, for instance a battering ram in a wheeled shed like this:
What happens now?-—————————Well, now, uh, Launcelot, Galahad, and I wait until nightfall, and then leap out of the rabbit, taking the French by surprise-not only by surprise, but totally unarmed!-—————————Who leaps out?-—————————Uh, Launcelot, Galahad, and I. Uh, leap out of the rabbit, uh and uh….-—————————Oh….-—————————Oh…. Um, l-look, if we built this large wooden badger pinata…
I picture one – one of them leave a Trojan Horse outside the other’s gate. The one inside blows up the top with TNT on a stick, then hauls the remaining part – the base on wheels – inside.
The attacker pops up out of the base and clobbers the oh-so-clever one. Heh.
Reminds me of a scene from MONTY PYTHON and THE HOLY GRAIL. Being a wooden rabbit and all… I mean, it’s only natural now… ain’t it… ?Oh get off it mate.
I dunno… I still have trouble believing Homer sang the whole damn thing from memory, but then again, what else does a blind poet have to do in ancient Greece?
More than a day into it and nobody has caught the Holy Grail reference, well I fart in your general direction, your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries. Well fetchez le vache, I shall not be satisfied until someone deliveries me a shrubbery!

If you’d never seen anything of the sort before, wouldn’t you describe that as a “giant wooden horse”?

Don’t you just hate when production takes artistic liberties with engineered drawings?

Would you accept the premise that it’s a bear? Then I could say “Beware of Greeks gifting bears”.…No, I didn’t think so.

The second attempt was a Trojan elephant. Unfortunately it was too big to fit through the castle gate.

The pinata has more class than using a hooker to betray her people as Joshua did at Jericho. It was less claustrophobic however.
