Pegasus

Pegasus is the famous flying, winged horse of Greek mythology

Trojan horse
The Trojan Horse is a wooden horse that allowed the Greeks to put an end to the 10-yearold Trojan War.
The Greeks left a giant wooden object made to look like a horse at the Trojan city gates.
Some of the Greeks pretended to sail away, but actually sailed just out of sight.
The other Greeks stood waiting, inside the belly of the wooden beast.
When the Trojans saw the giant wooden horse and the departing Greek troops, they
thought the wooden horse was a gift for the gods, so most of them wanted to wheel it
into their city since they believed the war was over. The city opened the gates, let the
horse in.
When the Trojans went to sleep at night, the Greeks climbed down from the belly of the
Trojan Horse, opened the city gates and allowed the rest of the troops into the city. The
Greeks then sacked, destroyed, and burned the city and win the war .
