As you can see from the picture, the “Troy” movie crew donated the Trojan “horse” to the city. According to Homer, Paris abducted the beautiful Helen from her husband, Menelaus, King of Sparta and whisked her off to Troy, thus precipitating the Trojan War. When 10 years of carnage failed to end the war, Odysseus came up with the idea of a wooden horse filled with soldiers, against which Cassandra warned the Trojan in vain. It was left outside the west gate for the Trojans to wheel inside the walls.
