Did The Trojan Horse REALLY Exist?

Welcome Back to Just History

The Trojan War has captivated imaginations for centuries, with Homer's epic poems centered on the conflict still being invoked in literature in the 21st century. Accounts blend what could at least pass for actual history with myth, such as Achilles being impervious to mortal weapons, as well as the presence of Amazons and constant divine intervention throughout the war. When the subject of the Trojan War comes up, many think of Achilles and his exploits, the Trojan prince Paris taking Helen across the Aegean, and the ruse that was the Trojan Horse. This massive wooden structure was a false offering from the supposedly departing Greeks, an offering for Troy's temple to Poseidon (via Britannica). The night that the Trojans brought it within the city walls, Greek soldiers concealed inside the horse brought down the city gates and let their compatriots in, dooming the city. However, studies of the story's validity remain inconclusive. Was this titanic wooden horse real in the first place, or was it a mere literary invention? In this video We are discussing Did The Trojan Horse REALLY Exist?
