Time to Be Cautious

The commonly accepted explanation
of the saying, Beware of Greeks
bearing gifts" is to be cautious in
trusting persons who introduce their
proposals or requests with gifts. The
origin of the saying is matter of dis
pute, but It is traced by some authori-
ties to Virgil's statement, Aeneid, IL
40. II fear the Greeks, even when
they bring gifts" Presumably this
referred to the wooden horse STRAIT
agem at the siege of Troy.
