[edit] Disambig
this needs disambiguous attention. Kingturtle 17:52 Apr 12, 2003 (UTC)
- Something better than disambiguation based on capitalisation? ( 16:26, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC)
[edit] Iliad?
Shouldn't the Illiad be mentioned in this article? Are there other sources of the legend, or is it only from the Iliad? Michael Hardy 00:03, 13 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- It's not mentioned in the Iliad, which ends after the death of Hector. It's mentioned in the Odyssey and perhaps with more detail in Virgil's Aeneid. ( 16:26, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC)
would the Aeneid be considerd a secondary source or a seperate mentioning though due to the fact that it really isn't Greek myth and was written centuries later?
[edit] The Trojan Horse (the movie)
I've reversed the removal of the movie. We have disambigs all over WP. That's what encyclopedias are for: to provide references and examples. ←Humus sapiens←Talk 00:50, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)
"There is a small museum founded in 1955 within the territories of ancient city Troy, near the Dardanelles (present-day Turkey). The museum includes the remnants of the city and a symbolic wooden horse built in the garden of the museum to depict the legendary Trojan horse." -- This should be qualified by saying only some people believe it to be the city of Troy.
[edit] confused
Hello, I thought "timeo Danaos et dona ferentes" meant "fear the gods and their references". Greetings.
- "Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes" means: "I fear the Greeks, even when they bear gifts." --Akhilleus (talk) 23:36, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] this is short, bad, and not explaning
this is short, bad, and not explaning, I barely got any usefull information about the trojan horse what, can't you get anything else? i'm sure there can be millions of pages filled with information about the trojan horse but here only 1/2 page was filled!!!=yeah=
It's really only worth about 1/2 a page, considering the Trojan Horse almost certainly never even existed. Epic poems aren't much of a source of historical accuracy.
[edit] Those in the horse
This list needs some work, to verify the links. Several of them link to disambiguation articles. --rossb 13:43, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi my name is Jake Richard from Louisiana. My class and I would like to thank you for this website. We are learning about Troy and everyone wanted to see the Famous Horse. So I pulled up this site because I know alot about The War of Troy. So thanks a lot. --Jake Richard

Ya, be careful what you download. Or look up, trojan horse (computing). Call of duty 21:55, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Just a question: which were Virgil's sources. Only those few lines in the Odissey?
Uhh....... I dont understand your question im not really a know-it-all person. Call of duty 04:20, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Original sources
Which were Virgil's sources? Only those few lines in the Odissay?
[edit] WHAT??
OK, now if you're going to be vulgar, at least explain why you put unnecessary messages at the top of this article, whoever did this! Anonymous 16:35, 5 December 2006 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.191.64.130 (talk) 00:35, 5 December 2006 (UTC).
Has this entry been vandalised? The first section seems to be curses
[edit] "Hollow Victory"
The article says, "The famous horse is considered as one of the biggest hollow victorys of all time." This pun strikes me as flippant and silly. I removed this sentence, but 64.113.88.220 added it back in without comment. I don't want to get into a revert war on this, so... what do other people think? Perhaps someone else can remove it, if you agree with me? -- Narsil 19:51, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- I think it's a terrible joke, and should be added to BJAODN :D Druss666uk 22:42, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- Oh yeah, and assume good faith too, at least it wasn't vandalism. Druss666uk 22:43, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
