Actually, maybe they started to, and realized it was ridiculous. Although I think we would have heard that. Somewhere in the accounts. (I think of the historical PR value. Political fuel. Of returning to anywhere in Greece with the "statue.") (And it's just the kind of thing they were "into.") 'Course, so was the war. Ridiculous. I blame Zeus. Or the chick.

No no no no no. The Greeks sacked Troy in the morning. Tore it apart. Burned it down. Killed the inhabitants. Rapine, pillage, plunder. The horse was of little interest to sack-crazed Greek warriors.

yawn Ah jeez... I awake to find that Classical history scholars have been duking it out on the DAR thread... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You know what amazes me about the whole Trojan horse thing?? How did the Greeks know that the Trojans would wheel the horse into the city? I mean,....weren't they even a teensy little bit worried that the Trojans might be feeling too lazy to do the grunt work of pushing the big wooden horse into the city...and...like...alternatively get the idea of having a ripping big beach party with a burning wooden horse as the main attraction over which to barbecue goats and other goodies??? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WOW! Brainstorm!!! Maybe Rambi should have a Trojan Horse as the centerpiece for the Greek theme party... and then set it afire and have the biggest barbacoa in DAR history!! Uhm....now let's see.....who has been out of line around here lately...??
