a regular Trojan. Inhabitants of Troia, or Troy, an ancient city in what is now Turkey that came to be called Troja in Me- dieval Latin, the Trojans were a courageous, industrious people. Legend tells us they labored energetically and cheerfully at even the most arduous tasks. Hence the expressions to work like a Trojan and a regular Trojan, for hard work done without complaint and a high-spirited industrious worker. |
