Were the Trojans stupid?
>>221983253>a person from the era of voluntary genocide by injection asks, with out a hint of irony.
>>221983253In the myth the guy who spoke up and called it a trap got instantly killed by sea snakes. Trojans took it as a sign that not accepting it would piss off the gods.
>>221983253There was a strong religious symbolism. Statues of horses were dedicated to Poseidon, the fact it was made of destroyed enemy ships only raised the importance.
>>221983253The Trojans were literally desperate for the war to end. Basically they kind of collectively bought into the delusion that the war WAS coming to an end and the horse was a marker of it. Their desperation betrayed them.>>221983382Kinda. Laocoon warns the city but he's ignored and shoved to the side. Later he watches from a distance as the city burns to the ground. Then Poseidon shows up and he's mad at Laocoon for almost spoiling the surprise (Poseidon was on the side of the Greeks) and so he parted the sea and let this snake creature drag Laocoon AND his 2 sons underwater to drown. (pic related) What an asshole eh?
>>221983253Imagine being the soldiers that were at the bottom of the horse, drowning in poopwater
>>221983611Not showing the greek gods was a mistake.
The books are dumb because the Gods will literally just cast a spell of stupid and shit on people. They literally planned to chop it open or push it off a cliff but they went with the worst option.
>>221983611dude, Greek Gods were tremendous assholes>like when then baited Hector to be alone outside the walls>or when Apollo wants to bang Cassandra so he gives her the ability to see the future, but she refuses him so he curses her so no one will ever believe her prophecies
>>221983253Change the horse to a raft and you've got modern Europe
>>221983845GREEKS WELCOME

>>221983746How often do you guys shit that you think this would be filled with poop? Weren't they only in it for like 24 hrs? There's no way you're shitting at all with that kind of stress. Not in just 24 hrs.
>>221984022The trojans would have to be complete idiots to bring it in that quickly. It needed to sit at least a week to sell the ruse
>>221983838The entire war was about to end with the Acheans and Trojans agreeing to be buds but Aphrodite fouled it up because she couldn't stand losign a boytoy
>>221983611>Michelangelo accurately predicted the right arm pose long before it was found, others favored a heroic fist pumpmarble kino
>>221984022Odysseus literally says "we were in there for some days drowning in poop and piss"Did you even watch the movie?
>>221983611Imagine getting this made for your atrium and the wife says it's too terrifying after the painters are finished making it lifelike.
>>221984533>Did you even watch the movieNo why would I?
/tv/ in a nutshell
>>221985044So you don't make posts that make you look like a fucking idiot.
>>221983253>Were the Trojans stupid?Nah, taking war trophies was a huge thing back in the day. The guy that inspected it just did a shitty job before giving the go ahead to bring into the city.
