The Trojan Horse: Ancient Deception in Classical Art #3776702 (License: Personal Use)

This detailed woodcut illustrates the moment the Greeks present the giant wooden horse to the Trojans, concealing armed soldiers within its hollow body. A ladder leads up to a hatch on the horse’s flank, where a soldier peers out, while Greek warriors stand guard nearby and citizens observe from the city walls. The scene evokes the climax of the Trojan War as recounted in Virgil’s *Aeneid* and Homer’s epics.
