 Inside the giant wooden horse were Greek soldiers, who, as night fell, disembarked from the horse and opened the city gates, thus sealing the fate of Troy.He was also an Achaean spy who told the Greeks when the soldiers in the horse had begun their fight.This scene is in neither the "Iliad" nor the "Odyssey" but is in the "Aeneid"; it is central to the perspective Virgil builds, in support of the actual Roman sentiment, of the Greeks as cunning, deceitful, and treacherous.
