      A Hero Heads Home

      It’s dark. You can only see faint glimmers of light through seams in the wooden planks. You raise a finger to your lips to quiet the soldiers around you. You can’t risk being discovered.

      May the gods be with us, you think.

      You feel your hiding place shudder. You are moving slowly. The only sounds that reach your ears are the grunts of men straining and the creak of wooden wheels rolling. What feels like hours later, the movement stops.

      We’re inside, someone whispers.

      You hear a loud clang. It’s the city gates closing, you think.

      You and your soldiers hide inside what storytellers will call the Trojan Horse. It’s a large hollow statue made of wood.

      For 10 years the Greek Army has battled the Trojans. But the walls around the city of Troy were built by gods. They are too strong to breech. That leaves one option — to sneak inside the city.

      The idea for the Trojan Horse came to you in a dream sent by Athena herself. The goddess of wisdom has supported Greece during the Trojan War. Now she has given you the key to victory.

      After the sun sets and the city has quieted, you open a trap door in the hollow statue. A soldier lets down a rope, and you quickly descend. Your men follow.

      To the gates! you command. Your soldiers spread out.

      After leaving the Trojan Horse outside Troy’s gates, the rest of the Greek Army left the battlefield and hid. Your hope was that the Trojans would think the Greeks had given up and returned home. The Trojans would see the statue as a peace offering and bring it inside their walls.

      That part of your plan worked. Now the Greek Army is supposed to sneak back to the battlefield after nightfall.
