given BY Zeus to the founder Of the city, Illus.
Ulysses. however, having disguised his person
with miserable clothes and self-inficted wounds
introduced himself into the city and found
means to carry away the Palladium by stealth.
He was recognized only by Helen, who con-
certed with him means for the capture Of the
town. final stratagem was resorted to. At
the suggestion Of Athene, Epeius and Pano.
peus constructed q hollow wooden horse. Ca
pacious enough to contain 100 men. In this
horse the most eminent of the Greek heroes
concealed themselves, while the whole Greek
army, having burnt their tents and pretended
to give up the siege, sailed away with their
ships, which they anchored behind Tenedos
OverJoyed to sec themselves finally relieved,

at the stupendous horse, on which was written
that it was dedicated to Athena by the depart

voice OF Helen, when she pronounced the
name of each hero, counterfeiting the accent
OF his wife's voice. Some desired to bring il
into the city and to dedicate it to the gods
others advised distrust at the enemy's legacy
LAGOON, the priest of Poseidon, came with his
two sons, and in his indignation thrust his
spear against the horse. The sound revealed
that the horse was hollow; but at the same mo-
ment LAGOON and one of his sons perished
mlserably, two monstrous serpents having
been sent by Here out of the sea to destroy
them. The Troians, terrified by this spectacle.
and persuaded by the perfidious counsels of the
traitor Sinon-who had been expressly left be-
hind by the Greeks to give them false informa-
tion-were induced to drag the fatal fabric in
to their city; and, as the gate was not broad
enough to admit it, they even made a breach
in thei- own wall. Thus the horse was miro
duced into the Acropolis, and placed in the
Agora before Priams palace But even now
opinions were divided; many demanding thai
the horse should be cut in pieces, others adj.
vising that it should be dragged to the highest
point of the Acro2olis and thrown thence on
the rocks below. The strongest party. how
ever, insisted on its being dedicated to the
gods, as token of gratitude for their deliver
anee.
