英语词汇trojan horse的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Trojan horse. Ancient Troy is believed to have been located where Hissarlik, Turkey now stands. Here the Greeks waged the Trojan War (about 1200 b.c.) in an effort to claim their Queen Helen, who had been abducted by Paris, the son of the king of Troy. At least so the classical writers claim. The war, probably fought for the control of trade, lasted for some 10 years before Troy fell, the last year of the siege recorded by Homer in the Iliad and the burning of Troy described by Virgil in the Aeneid. Troy finally fell, Virgil writes, when the famous Trojan horse was left near the gates of the city overnight. The Trojans believed the giant horse to be a gift to the gods, but its hollow interior was filled with Greek soldiers, who slipped out in the dark and opened Troy’s gates to their comrades. Since then the phrase Trojan horse has been used for any deceptive scheme.
