Where does the saying hung like a horse originate from?
Its from Homer’s Iliad. The Greeks built a gigantic wooden horse filled it full of themselves and parked it in front of the main gate of Troy. The Horse was the Trojan National Symbol. Like America’s is the Eagle. The war between the Greek’s and Trojan’s had already lasted 5 or 10 years and was at a stalemate. It was that clever Greek Ulysses that came up with the idea to build the horse, offer it to the Trojan’s as a gift and say we give up, you win, see ya. Little did the Trojan’s realize that the belly of that fateful horse was full of Greeks! Full of pride that they had beaten the Greeks. The Trojan’s accepted the gift and wheeled it through the mighty gate into the city. Then of course they all celebrated, got drunk and fell asleep. Those sneaky Greeks got out of that horse, opened the gate and that was the end of the Trojans. This is where that famous espression “Beware of Greeks Bearing Gifts” comes from. What was the question?
