The Wooden Horse

Download The Wooden Horse

One of the most famous tricks in all literature is the subject of this, the third story in our Troy series (filed under Greek Myths)

wooden horseThe war between the Greeks and the Trojans is in its tenth year. The Trojans rejoice when they wake up one day to find that the Greek army has finally departed. They have left behind them a strange gift – a giant wooden horse. The Trojans are divided – should they set fire to the statue or should they honour and worship it?

The original for our adaption can be found in Book II of the Aeneid by the Roman Poet Virgil. The Greek poet Homer only mentioned it in passing. This partly explains the famous line with an anti-Greek sentiment, “I fear the Greeks, especially when they are bringing gifts.”

Read by Natasha. Duration 12 Minutes.

The happiest day in the history of Troy was when the Greek army sailed away. For ten long years the war had raged, and many of the finest and bravest warriors on both sides, had fallen in battle. How the Trojans rejoiced as they walked along the shore where the Greek enemy had camped! Here, cruel Achilles had set up his tent. There, the arrogant King Agamemnon had commanded his men. And now, for the first time in their lives, the children of Troy could run and play in the foam of the sea, and teenage boys and girls could walk hand in hand beneath the cliffs.

But little did they realise that the enemy army had not set sail for far away Greece. Instead, they had only taken their ships to the other side of the island called Tenedos, and there they were lurking, out of sight, but still not far away. It was all a cunning trick thought up by the wiliest of the Greeks, the red haired Odysseus (ode-iss-see-us), who was never short of a plan.

The Trojans saw that the Greeks had left behind a strange offering. It was a giant wooden horse with ribs made from the planks of fir trees. The people marvelled at the massive statue, but there were different opinions about what they should do with it. Some wise old men saw there was something not quite right about the horse, and advised that they should set fire to it straight away. Others warned that , the gods would be angry with them if they did not honour the statue. After all, the wooden horse was dedicated to grey-eyed Athena, the great goddess of wisdom, and nobody wanted to feel her wrath.

The crowd was wavering, and a white-bearded old Priest spoke out above the murmur. “Fellow citizens. Whatever this strange horse may be, remember this: it is always wise to fear the Greeks, especially when they are bringing gifts. By the Great God Poseidon, Lord of the Seas, and by everything that is sacred, let us not fall into this deadly trap, for that is what it surely is! ”

So saying, the old priest hurled a mighty spear at the horse, and and it flew into the beast’s side and quivered, and the guts of the horse reverberated with an eerie hollow sound like a long, deep moan. And had the Trojans decided there and then to set fire to that horse of death, their lovely city would be standing to this day, and the descendants of King Priam would be living in peace and happiness.

But just then, a Trojan patrol came upon the scene, and they brought with them a prisoner – a Greek called Sinon whom the army had left behind.

“Now we will find out the truth!” said the Trojan guards. “Let’s poke this wretched Greek spy with our bronze Spears until he tells us what this Greek gift is all about!”

When he heard this, the poor prisoner cried out: “No, please! Don’t harm me. I’ll happily tell you all you want to know, for cruel, scheming Odysseus is no more a friend of mine than he is of you.”

And so the Trojans listened to what Sinon had to say, and they tried to fathom whether or not he spoke the truth.

“Do you not think that the Greeks would have gladly given up this war before ten long years had had passed? Let me tell you that many times they planned to leave their sufferings behind, as they have done now. . But each time they prepared to sail way in their beaked black ships, the sea god Poseidon sent a terrible storm, and whipped up giant waves on the wine dark sea. They consulted a priest who told them the reason why the gods were inflicting such pain. You see, before he left his home in Argos, King Agamemnon, the great leader of men, waited an entire month for a wind to blow his ships to Troy. Eventually, he decided that the gods required a very special offering. And as usual, it was scheming Odysseus who thought up the plan. He sent for Agamemnon’s own daughter, his darling Iphigenia, and told her that she was to marry swift-footed Achilles. She came with great joy and gladness in her heart for Achilles was the handsomest and bravest of the Greeks, but it was all the most dreadful trick. Instead of marrying Achilles at the altar on the cliffs high up above the sea, the priest sacrificed the lovely white-skinned young maiden to the sea god. And straight away as the foul dead was done, the winds began to blow.

“Now, ten long years later, as we were waiting for a wind to take us back home, Odysseus came up with another plan. “I know,” he said, “Let’s sacrifice the most useless of those among us. Nobody will miss Sinon. He has only ever criticised our plans, and called us leaders wicked and foolish. We once sacrificed an innocent young girl, now let’s give the gods the life of a man, and you’ll see, they will send us a fair wind to blow us swiftly home.”

“But before Odysseus sent his guards to fetch me to my death, a rumour reached me of what he had said, and I ran into the woods and hid. And so the Greeks came up with a second plan to appease the gods. And you see the result before you. This magnificent wooden horse is their offering, to say how sorry they are for all the needless death and destruction they have caused. Only bring it inside your walls before night falls, because unless I am far wrong, there will be gold and treasure hidden deep inside the belly of that wooden horse.”

And when the Trojans had heard Sinon’s tale, many of them were greedy for treasure, and they believed his wicked lies – for he spoke most convincingly but still the crowd was uncertain what to do – until, that is, a most terriblel thing happened. The old priest who had thrown his spear at the horse, was standing by the sea, when a great monster came swimming into shore and carried him off its jaws. It all happened in a flash, and the Trojans were filled with a strange terror.

Sinon one again called out: “You see, Trojans. Nothing but the truth I spoke! The Gods have rightly punished that wicked old priest for sending his spear into the wooden horse!”

And now nobody dared to disagree. And the Trojans brought ropes and placed wheels beneath the statue’s feet, so that they might pull the wooden horse through the gates of their magnificent city. And as the ill-omened procession entered Troy, girls and boys danced around the horse singing holy chants. There was rejoicing in the city, and even the fortune teller, Casandra did not dare open her lips though she foresaw the imminent doom. For the gods had given Casandra the gift of clear-sighted prophesy but had decreed that not one person would believe her.

It was a clear moonlit night, and the Trojans carried on partying. Sinon the Greek had been set free, and nobody noticed that he lit a fire on the beach to signal to the army on the island of Tenedos that the wooden horse was within the walls of Troy. Next he returned to the city, and opened a secret door in the belly of the horse. And the Greek band of warriors, who had been hiding all that time within, let down a long rope- and they were led to the ground, by wily Odysseus, who was the first of them to stand in the central square of magnificent Troy.

It was not long before the Greek intruders had surprised the guards on the main gates and killed them. Soon the wide doors were open, and the Greek army was surging into Troy. The Trojans were either drunk or sleeping and in no way ready to fight. On every side the city was in turmoil. Soon the palace of King Priam was in the grip of fire, and Helen – the most beautiful woman in the world, for whom these ten years of war had been fought, was throwing herself at the feet of her Greek husband, King Menelaus, and protesting how she had been kidnapped and brought to Troy against her will. It was all lies, of course, but Menelaus was ready to be believe his lovely wife and took her once more in his arms.

    Hello

    Yes The Wooden Horse is quite possibly the coolest story of the Greek Myths.
    When the wooden horse is left behind in Troy, the people of the city are un- aware that a Greek army of men are hidden inside its body, which they are using as part of their plan to secretly counter attack the city of Troy.

    Hello

    Thank you for your comment

    The Wooden Horse by is a very dramatic Greek myth. When the Trojan army allow the the giant wooden horse to enter through their gates, little do they know there is an army full of Greek men inside the belly of the horse waiting to plan another attack, on the city of Troy.

    Hello

    When the Greek soldiers hide in the belly of the horse in order to disguise entering into the city, and fool the Trojans, it is a strategy that is part of the long fought war between the Greeks and Trojans. It is also a story of ancient history that actually took place.

  • Mallory M says:

    I think the climax of the story was when they opened the belly of the horse and all the Greek soldiers came out to fight!

  • John(To Mrs Sprauge says:

    I think that the climax of the story is when Sinon opens the secret door to the hidden compartment. This is because that is when the Greeks open the city to their army. This later causes the destruction of the city solving the original problem.

  • Annesha W. says:

  • rocha says:

    i belive the climax is when Odysseus lets all the soldiers in and they killed everyone. this was an o.k. storry but it was to long :(

  • Porsha N. says:

    Well the climax was when the greeks came out of the wooden horse that supposibley was an affering and then so they started to kill the other people, but couldnt really because they where drunk and also blindsided that they where in the horse in the first place….

  • Joseph says:

    I think that the climax is when simon opened the door to the horse and the Greek warriors came out.

  • Dylan S says:

    I think that the climax of this story is when Sinon opened the belly of the wooden horse, releasing the Greek warriors.

    Good Story!!

  • Bertie says:

    Dear Alex, Times are GMT

  • omar says:

    the climax is really surprising.every side of the city was in turmoil and helen had been kidnapped by troy and told him information

  • ColbyC. says:

    The climax to that story was that the Greeks took giant Wooden Horse put it on wheels and rolled it through the city of troy. But when they killed the gaurds to try and get into troy the King and all of his men were ready to fight but the beautiful Queen Helen said no. The Greeks were either drunk or sleeping and was not ready for battle.

    The old priest once took his spear and threw it at the giant Wooden Horse and few days later he was grabbed by a seamonseter that grabbed him with his/her sharp and pointy teeth and broyght that naughty old priest right back were he belonged. That old priest was gobbled up and was never seen again.

  • Taylor J says:

    The Climax didn’t surprise me, after 10 years of battling they shouldn’t have allowed the horse come into their gates.

  • Jenna T says:

    I believe that the climax of this story is when the Greek soldiers came out of the wooden horse. It was the perfect timing because the Trojans were in no condition to fight after partying all night;) I think this one goes to Sinon, he must be a good liar!

    I THINK THAT THE GREEKS HIDING IN THE HORSE AND THEN HAVING THE SPY TELL A LIE SHOWS HOW SMART THE GREEKS REALLY ARE

  • Taylor J says:

    The Climax didn’t surprise me as I predicted after 10 years of war they would
    know better than to let the horse into their gates.

  • Kodie W. says:

    The climax of the story was very good. It was when they came out of the horse and attacked everyone.

  • Tony V. says:

    i mean king mesulu not agomenan.

  • Tony V. says:

    The climax of this story is when the Greeks come out of the horse and attack the Trojans while they were drunk and sleeping. I feel that there is no real resolution to the story because agamenmon fall for his wife lieing to him after they just pullrd huge lie.

  • Braden P says:

    I believe the climax was when the trojans decided to believe the Greek man. P.s. This works on iPods!

  • Cory says:

    The climax of the story had to be when the greeks came out of the giant horse and invaded troy

  • Hailey C says:

    The climax was when the guy threw a sword at the trojan horse then bad things started to happen. It turns out that the wooden trojan horse was filled with the greek army ready to attack. This was a good story I love reading about the Trojan horse!

  • Kaler says:

    I think that was a very interesting story! I think the climax is when Sinon released the people out of the horse and invaded Troy which resulted in a bunch of people dying.

  • celine says:

    the climax was when simon opened a secret door at the bottom of the horse and killed the gaurds to get in which worked very well!

  • Madi E. says:

    The climax is when simon told the tall tale and every one got greedy for treasure then confused and convinced they saw the old priest who had thrown his spear at the trojan horse get carried off by a great monster with its jaws.

  • Amanda M. says:

    This is a very interesting story and very interesting to listen too. I never knew that they left their sufferings behind!!

  • Brayden A. says:

    The climax of the story was when Sinon opened the secret door on the horse and the warriors rampaged the city. Also, the rest of the Greek army flew through the gates and started killing all the people. longggggggggg though

  • AH says:

    the Greek man came to the Troy and his wife told him that she was kidnappedand hi believed her:)

  • James pink. says:

    Mrs Sprague;

    The climax of the story is when the priest gets eaten by the sea monster. From that point on everything gets worse for the trojans and better for the greeks.

  • Maddie L. says:

    It was very Interesting.! I liked how they were hiding inside the horses Belly:)

  • alex b says:

    the climax of the story is when the Greeks came out of the belly of the horse and attacked

  • AlexisO. says:

    January 4, 2010
    I think the climax of this story is when the city of Troy opened the gates and in the middle of the night, opened the horse’s latch door. They soldiers picked the perfect time to attack because the city of Troy and their people were still celebrating and were either asleep or drunk. The soldiers killed the guards and walked into the city with pride and took over the city of Troy and burned the Palace of Kind Priam!

  • kyle w says:

    i think the climax of the story is when the priest is standing by the sea and the great monster carried him away off his jaws in a flash

  • lisa p says:

    i think the climax is that sinon have to find a way to have the trogiens to bring the wooden house in tory.then so he can let out all of the greeks to attack.

    wonderful and cunning story! I believe the climax is when the Greek soldiers come out of the wooden horse and destroy the city.

  • Matt W says:

    The climax is when Simon opened a secret door in the belly of the horse and the Greeks led by Odysseus killed the guards on the main gates, opened the doors and let the Greek army in.

  • jordan says:

    the climax was when sinon spoke to the trojan soldiers and the trojans belived him

  • austin r says:

    the climax is when the trojans took the horse in to the city and the greeks killed them

  • Ethan says:

    I liked the story. My favorite part is when they took in the horse.

  • Luis C. says:

    The climax in the story is when Sinon opens the door of the belly of the horse. Then, a bunch of Greek warriors come out and attack. The Trojans were defenseless because people were either drunk or asleep.

  • Leslie D. says:

    Ok I think the climax is when the Greek soldiers came out and killed the Trojan guards.

  • Leslie D. says:

    I think the climaxes of this story are
    Man verses Man, Society, Nature and Fate.

  • Leslie D. says:

    I think the climaxs of this story are
    Man vs. Man
    Man vs. Society
    Man vs. Nature
    and Man vs. Fate

  • Gunther J. says:

    The climax of this story is when the soldiers came out of the giant wooden and charged at the guards. Then they killed all men inside and rescued Helen.

  • Taylor T. says:

    The Climax of the story is When Sinon had a secret passage way into the wooden horse so they could destroy the Troy city from an evil trick.

  • Lee M. says:

    I think this myth was really good, one of my favorites.

    The climax of the story is when Sinon, the Greek spy, opened the secret door under the belly of the horse and let out the group of Greek soldiers who had been hiding in it. One minute you think everythings ok, then the army comes out and burns down the kings palace and destroys the city.

  • Shane says:

    The climax of the story is when Sinon sneaks into Troy and opens the secret door on the horse letting the Greek warriors sneak out into the magnificent central square of Troy. Immediatly after the rest of the Greek army rushes in catching the Trojans of guard therefore capturing the city.

  • Megan W. says:

    I think it was an amazing story. Its climax, in my mind, was very hard to understand . I thought it was when the old Priest hurdled the spear at the horse .

  • Valentina Garcia says:

    The climax of the story was the part where Sinon lit a signal fire and opened the secret door on the horse’s belly and let the Greek army out. Once the Greek army was out they killed and distroyed the city of troy.

    -Mrs.Sprauge’s class-

  • Jake H says:

    The climax was when the greeks came out of the horse and started attacking troy and killing all the people and burning the town…. cool stuff :)

  • sprauge7thgradejonas says:

    interesting! I didn’t now this story tok place during a trojan holiday! I like how they talked about signaling extra greeks.
    Just a lot of details I didn’t know.

  • Jaycie V. says:

    I think the climax of the story is when the greeks come out of the wooden horse and attack.

  • cameron w says:

    very interesting the lady is difficult to understand but i enjoied it. i dont recomed this this for children 11 and under it has a very large vocab.

  • Hunter R. says:

    The climax of this story was when the wooden horse was brought into the city of Troy and when Sinon signaled to the Greeks on the nearby island and telling them that the horse was inside the city.

    (For Mrs. Sprague)

  • Jordan H! (Sprauge) says:

    i liked the story very much and yes i have heard it before… :) i think the climax of the story was when sinon told the story to them that was a lie and they had to try to figure out weither or not to burn it or keep it?!
    -Jordan H

  • Catherine T. says:

    I thought it was a brilliant idea/trick. To tell the Trojans that it was filled with treasure. It was clever and sneaky, a good way to also distract them from seeing the gate guards being killed so they could let in their army.

  • Noah G says:

    The climax was when the greeks came out of the horse right at the perfect moment and killed everyone

  • Noah G says:

    A wonderful tale of trajedy honor and mystery which was mostly true except the part about the seamonster.that was pure fuction.overall was a really good story and I enjoyed it

  • tristana t says:

    that was the best book ever

  • nymph says:

    i did not like it thqat much, it was kind of boring

  • Sammie says:

    I think the climax was when the greeks came out of the belly into troys territory. Then while everyone was either sleeping or drunk they came in troy and killed the guards. But it does not tell the part of what happens after the woman lie in her husbands arms one last time.

  • Josh M says:

    the claimax is when they waited in the horse and got ready for battle when they jumped out and attacked them

  • Sabrina B. says:

    I believe the climax is when Sinon is set free.

  • Chase says:

    I believe the climax of this story is when the Greek army set Troy alight and destroyed the palace of King Priam and King Menelaus took his wife back in his arms

  • Chance C says:

    The climax was when the Greeks finally cam out of the horse and attacted.

  • Liam M. says:

    I liked this story. I think the climax was the part when the wodden horse was taken in and the greeks jumped out and attacked. I love Greek Mythology!

  • Katie M. says:

    The climax was, in my opinion, when Sinon begins telling his story. If he hadn’t lied about the wooden horse, the Greeks would’ve never gotten it in. He was the distraction.

  • kenya says:

    the climax of the story is when they open the secret door of the wooden horse and invade the city of troy.they surprise the soldiers that protect the city of troy and invaded the city because they were all drunk and tired from the partying. unfortunently casandra dared not opened her mouth because she knew no one would believe her

  • Hannah G. says:

    The climax of The Trojan Horse is the part when Sinon signaled the Greeks and the army attacked the city. Another exciting episode was when Sinon was trying to persuade the Trojans how this horse was an offering and there was treasure in it – if they bring it inside the gates before night falls. To prove to them, the old priest got taken by a monster while he was standing by the sea. I think this was a different twist of the Trojan Horse I have heard, and was very interesting.

  • Nathan says:

    that i think it was pretty amazing when they tricked the Romans by giving them a huge wooden hollow horse full of soldiers that crawled out in the night,killing the guards, and opening the gates to the city of Troy and letting the Greek army in to take the city over
    (Mrs.Sprague’s class,7th grade,anthem elementary)

  • cj says:

    The climax of the story was a trick on the trojans.a secret attack.it was a clever idea.

  • Michael S. says:

    It was impresive how the trojian’s were so ignorant that soldiers were in the wooden horse and didn’t notice as they opened the gates so the army could attack.

  • Haily M. says:

    The Climax:
    In order to defeat Troy the Greeks built a giant wooden horse to give to the city of Troy as a gift. Inside the wooden horse hid a few Greek warriors. As they were in the wooden horse while the city of Troy was sleeping the Greeks got out of the horse and opened the gates to the city of Troy and all the Greeks attacked and defeated Troy.

  • Michael S. says:

    The climax truly is when they attack the city.

  • TrevorP says:

    I thought it was very cunning with how Sinon fooled the Trojans, by just using a convincing voice. I thought it was very doltish how the Trojans didn’t examine the horse When Sinon said amongst the Trojans that it was a gift to them and the gods for there wasteful blood shed. I have to admit it was very strategic with how the people of Greece new that the Trojans could be easily fooled, so they hid in the wooden horse until there enemy was of guard and made an assault on the Trojans.

  • Erica D says:

    I think the climax of this storey was how the old man opened the horse and led him to die.Also how the men came in on a soupprising attack and got into the village.

    The other one i sent had a misstac

  • Erica D says:

    I think the climax of this storey was how the old man opened the horse and led him to die.Also how the me came in on a soupprising attack and got into the village.

  • S.S. says:

    the climax was that when every one in troy was sleeping the wooden horse opened up and the greek soldiers exited the wooden horse and killed all the trojan soldiers.

  • michael sperry says:

    When they capture the man sent to convince them the horse is a offering

  • Kimber says:

    I thought the story was pretty interesting- but I didn’t like the girl’s voice. The climax of the story was when the sea monster swallowed the priest and the Trojans brought the hourse into the city- everything went down-hill from there.

  • JordanLMrsSprauge says:

    When the greeks ca,e out of the belly of the horse.

  • Taylor says:

    The climax of this story was when the Greeks couldn’t decide what to do with the horse and if they were to belive Sinon or not. When Sinon lit the torch you new what was going to happen. I really enjoyed this story.

  • Colette P says:

    The Greek army falt that they had to honolr the wooden hourse. But then one put fire to it. Becease they no that they would not gave up it has not bine 10 years. But after the new that the wooden hourse was to say am sorry for the war. The one that start the fire on the wooden hourse was by the water and a big fish. That is how the greek army won war.

  • Devin says:

    I was supprised that the people in the village fell for the trap even though the wise old men and old priest knew it was a trap. I have already heard this story before.It was very cunning of the Odysseus to hatch a plan such as this.This plan I thought was genius.

  • Kiara (P) P.4 says:

    I went over the story twice and I think that the climax was when soliders came out of the horse and they started killing and attacking people!! :) It was alright not so bad.

  • Anna W. says:

    The climax of the story was when the Greek soldiers came out of the belly of the wooden horse. Sinon lit a fire on the beach to show that the Trojans accepted the gift and that the wooden horse was in the city of Troy. He opened the belly and let the Greek soldiers attack because he knew that the Trojans were either sleeping or drunk and could not fight. He knew all along what the Greeks were planning on doing but lied so the Trojans would celebrate and think that the Greeks went back to Greece. And he knew that they could not fight back against the Greeks and they would loose.

  • Chloe F says:

    The climax of the story is when Simon opens the belly of the wooden horse and lets the Greeks, led by Odyssesus, out of the horse and they go kill the guards and open the doors to let the rest of the Greek army into Troy to destroy the city.

  • Sabrina WB says:

    The climax was the part when they said “The old priest who had thrown his spear at the horse, was standing by the sea, when a great monster came swimming into shore and carried him off its jaws.” Because thats when the audience really starts to wonder where the story is going…

  • Kyle G. says:

    It was cool to hear about the suprise gift of Troy. The wooden horse had the Greek soldiers in it so they were suprised when they came out.

  • harrison f says:

    the climax was when Odysseus set foot in the townsqare of Troy

  • chris shuart says:

    the climax was interesting it must have been scary living as a god or goddess in those times i wouldve also been hard knowing that there might be a god waiting around for you.

  • Nick says:

    The Greek warriors come out of the wooden horse and slay all their enemies in Troy

  • Aaron C. says:

    The climax of the story was definatley when the belly of the horse was opened, and the greeks delt quicly with the city. The greeks were very clever in their scheme, It would probably work today!

  • Erik says:

    The climax was when they started to attack the horse and the screcth of the hollow inside of him

  • Josh E. says:

    The climax was a great plan and the trojans had no clue that Greeks were inside the horse and would attack.

  • Brian Bottger says:

    This story was great i couldnt stop listening to it. I heard it 4 times. The fast pacing of the story kept me listening to it.

  • Britt says:

    The Climax of the story is when the Priest gets gobbled up by the sea monster because then it proves if Sinon is right or not.

  • Caitlyn H. says:

    I think the climax of this story is when the greeks came out of the belly of the horse and attacked the city. It also could have been when the old man through a spear at the horse and i think he dies.

    this was a very well written story very entertaining and in my opinion kind of confusing the story over all was great.

  • Alex K. says:

    I think that the climax was when the priest throws the spear at the horse and the monster comes to eat him. And since it is a mythology i think it was like the kraken or th lochness monster

  • Austin D. says:

    i think the climax was when the greeks attacked the trojans

  • The Climax was very convincing and sad about the beautiful girl being triped and sacrificed and now the Gods only keped the Greeks in Trojan teritory was for to make a better sacrifice witch was the horse. Now i’m amazed the Greeks won the ten year war by hiding in the horse and triking the Trojans. Wow was this real?

  • Kaitlin B says:

    This myth was very intresting. I think the climax of the story is when Greeks began to attack the people with their horse. Overall, this story was a long but good.

  • Sam N. says:

    I think the climax of the story was when the Trojans were all drunk and/or sleeping and the greeks attacked them. That’s 1 good stradigy.

  • Kaitlin B. says:

    I thought this myth was very intresting. I’m not really sure about the climax but my guess would be when the Greeks came out of the wooden horse and they killing people! IOverall, it was long but good!

    Awesome story! I am researching Athena for a school project and this really helped!!!!

  • Liliana says:

    It’s a great story! Natasha, I like your voice very much.

    The climax of the story is the episode when Simon opened a secret door in the belly of the horse and the Greeks led by Odysseus killed the guards on the main gates, opened the doors and let the Greek army in.
    King Menelaus was a silly guy because he took Helen in his arms again.

  • kris L says:

    the trojan horse is used in many tricks and tv shows now…the climax is when the trojans run out and kill every body it was pretty cool and really clever many modern day generals admire their tactics.

  • Amanda;hi ms.sprague says:

    i think the climax is when the Trojans and the horse came in the city and destroyed them

  • Tabbieee:) says:

    Uhh,the climax is when the Trojans find that the Greeks left them the horse because the rest of the story is set around that.And it’s also conflict because they can’t decide if they should trust them or not.

  • Ashley says:

    The climax was when the old man told the tale

  • Ginny? says:

    thios story was way to long i almost fell asleep but it was good

  • Deanna says:

  • smitty says:

    the climax of the story is when the horse is put in the trojans hands .this is a good book

  • amanda says:

    that’s weird, it says i posted it at 3:05, which isn’t right!

  • Robbie says:

    i think the climax is when Sinon releases all the soldiers from the horse’s belly then they kill the whole city

  • amanda says:

    i really enjoyed the story, especially when they took in the horse, because i saw it coming!
    climax-When the greeks had attacked the exterior, and then the greeks that came out of the horse.And then they had all attacked the interior.
    Simply Marvelous!

  • sydney says:

    The climax of this story is when everyone started listening to that prisoner. That way the people brought in the wooden horse…and the trojans killed them all.

  • Colter says:

    I liked the story. I thought the way the Greeks tricked their way in to take over the Trojans was cool. The climax of the story was when the Greeks attacked.

  • Alisa says:

    The Wooden Horse had an exciting climax. I think the Greeks were clever to pull off such a great trick. It must have been scary to be inside the horse wondering whether the Trojans would set the horse on fire or something worse. It was very smart of the Greeks to wait until the Trojans were drunk or sleeping before they attacked.

  • kiana perez says:

    long story, but good. I thought the climax was when the greeks and the horse just come into troy and kill everyone.

  • Anna says:

    I think that the climax of the story was when the horse comes into the story! It was very interesting though how the author brings it in!

  • Drew says:

    Very interesting!!! I would love to learn more about this.

  • nicole~! says:

    Cool~! The story was awesome!!! I thought that the climax of it all was when the red haired Odysseus thought of the plan to make the wooden horse!
    Agian Awesome story i actually really wanted to know the details~!

  • Bertie says:

    Alexis, the times are all London time.

  • Megan says:

    You obviously know that something is wrong with the horse and see whats coming,but it’s still interesting to read what happens. When you hear about the preist and the old guy who kwow what is going to happen before it happens and then you get to the climax, it’s one of those “I told you so” moments when you knew the whole time that they should have listened. The climax might be suprising if you’ve never heard of this before and didn’t catch on in the exposition and rising actions though. This whole story is clever and it would’ve been interesting if it really happened.

  • austin says:

    the trogens will belevie any thing and thats what go them killed. the story was ok. i have herd it before but didn’t hear about a lot of what happened there.they are stupid the torgens

    i thought it was interesting that all the views of cassandra, the priests, and the towns people all clashed. it turned out that the greeks were using hte “gift” as a way to raid the town. i think that the lier that told them it was full of gold was wrong and someone should have spoken against his lie

  • Aaron,4th period says:

    Awesome story!
    CLIMAX
    the greeks and trojans were at war for 10 years! the trojans thought the greeks had given up when they sailed away.they were happy and celebrated. not long after, the greeks had left a wooden horse as a “gift” for he trojans. the trojans had many different ideas for what to do with the horse and what it was for. they all talked about it and thought hard.finally they agreed on what to do…
    this was an awsome story and i hope there are more like this haha

  • Jaclyn says:

    This was a great myth! I think that the Trojans were really stupid for believing Sinon but it was a really cool story.

  • this was very well written but i did not enjoy the ed because it ended very quickly.

  • Becca says:

    Sinon lit a fire on the beach to signal to the army on the island of Tenedos that the wooden horse was within the walls of Troy. Next he opened a secret door in the horse. The Greek band of warriors let down a long rope and were led to the ground. They killed people and the king got his lovely wife.

  • Jeff says:

    it was a good story i gess i dont know what 2 say….

  • Logan M says:

    Dude this story is the WORST version ive ever heard. Although, the part where Sinon Betrayed all of troy was fun. I was laughing the whole time. I wonder if they have a story about the fall of Achilles

  • Maddie says:

    The climax of the story of the Wooden Horse is basically one major thing. It is when all of the greeks in the horse come out. Then of course they kill everyone in the city of Troy. That is the climax of the story of the wooden horse.

  • paige says:

    the climax of the stroy is when the horse comes into the story. they people should have listened to the priest.

  • Connor W. says:

    I think the climax is after the Trojans finished celebrating and fell asleep drunk and the Greek soldiers surged through the gates and started killing people. I also think the King is stupid for taking Helen back.

  • fredrico says:

    verryyy lonnnnnggggggg
    it was ok

  • parker says:

    long but good

  • Austin L says:

    This is one of the legends or myth or what ever it is of all time. The horse id one of the trickiest things ever.

  • Kaitlyn says:

    The climax was very thrilling. It was good because it helped put a better mood into the story.

  • Olivia says:

    This is a very good story. I love how the climax of the story was when the old man was taken by the sea monster. It makes everyone believes that the wooden horse is an offering from the gods. This is a very clever plan and the climax brings it all together.

  • Evan Shoelace pd.6 says:

    The story was really intreguing and I look forward to hearin the rest! My favroite part is when Sinon started his lie!

  • Janell (Sprauge) says:

    The climax didn’t take me by suprise it was simple the Greek wouldn’t just simply surrender after ten years of war. but overall the story was interesting. :)

  • ryan says:

    i think that the plan for hiding inside the horse was sneeky and a good way for the greeks to surprise the trojans.it was a fine story.

  • bob says:

    I really liked it when Sinon started his lie

  • Evan Shoelace pd.6 says:

    It was an intreguing story, I look foward to hearing the reast of them. :)

  • Balzer says:

    The climax of the story is when Sinon opened the trap door on the belly of the horse which all of the Greek soilders came out of. (hi Joey)

  • Dj says:

    I enjoyed this myth, however this telling was very different from what i’ve heard of it before. I did not know of Sinon, and his intricate lie. I believed the Trojans just took in the the horse, but i was wrong. The climax, however short, was just how I remember it- total destruction to a sleeping city. The ultimate use of kicking someone when their down right?

  • Karida says:

    The climax of the story is when the giant wooden horse is placed in the Trojan’s hands.They have to choose whether to destroy the horse or to honor it and keep the gods happy.

  • wyatt says:

    very sneaky
    on of the smartest army plans
    time consuming

  • Brandon says:

    I think it is a great suspenseful story about love money and greed. It is also about war. The climax of this story was written very well and I think it was the highest point in the story.

  • melissa says:

    it was a cool story
    i like the ending when they attacked
    but the best part was the readers accent! :)

  • Taylor says:

    This story was very intresting! Greek Myths are very entertaining. It was very intresting to learn about what happened to the Trojans and the wooden horse.

  • Savannah S. says:

    I thought it was good. It was very detailed. It could have been shorter though. I liked all the action.

  • cuppy coullie kisha says:

    this is cuppalicious :D

  • georgia harry arnold says:

    why did they have to set fire to the horse?! :(

  • Sierra says:

    Mrs. Sprague:
    This was AWESOME! Ok, I think the climax is when Sinon tells the tale and they are debating what to do, believe him or not. Then the horse is wheeled into the city. That’s what I would say, but…See you tomorrow!
    Thanks, Sierra : )

  • brandon says:

    kind of scarey voce good story

  • ally says:

    I can’t believe they set fire to the horse.

  • Conor says:

    the climax of this story is very intresting.the part where nobody would listen to the prist and they were tricked by sinon to bring it in the city.and that brought them to there doom.

  • keith says:

    if it was a little less dramtic i would like it a lttle more. the stroy was pretty good.

  • keith says:

    the climax is very dramtic

  • mackinzie says:
