The Trojan Horse is one of the most famous symbols of ancient mythology and represents the clever strategy that led to the fall of Troy. According to legend, after years of unsuccessful siege, the Greeks built a विशाल wooden horse and hid their soldiers inside. They left it at the gates of Troy as a supposed gift and pretended to sail away. Believing it to be a symbol of victory, the Trojans brought the horse into the city. During the night, the hidden Greek soldiers emerged, opened the city gates, and allowed the returning army to enter—leading to the fall of Troy.
