A proposito di questo titolo

 Did the Trojan Horse really exist? In this episode, Lucas and Luna dive into the archaeological and textual evidence behind the most famous ruse in ancient history. They explore earlier Greek myths of wooden horses, the Hittite records of a place called Wilusa, and the surprising lack of Homeric mention of a 'horse' in the Iliad. They discuss the Odyssey's fuller account, the possible real-world siege tactics that could have inspired the legend, and the earliest artistic depictions of the horse. The conversation also touches on the historical Achaean-Hittite conflicts in western Anatolia and the possibility that the story encodes memories of an earthquake or a betrayal. Finally, they consider what the horse meant to the ancient Greeks as a symbol of cunning and divine intervention, and how later Roman and medieval writers embellished the tale.
