How did the story of the Wooden Horse arise?
there are two(im not sure which one you’re talking about since it is greek mythology) one is a torture method used in the spanish inquisition, the other was a strategy of getting into a city wall by making a large scale version of a horse and riding into a wall at night (the opposing forces expecting it as a tribute to stop the war) it is called the Trojan Horse though if you want to look it up, if you want to go more in-depth go to wikipedia
