The wooden horse of Troy.
This was a legendary story that was quite the simple tale.
The Greeks had difficulties conquering the city of Troy, so they pretended to retreat ignominiously, leaving only a huge wooden horse behind.
The Trojans took the horse back inside their city with them. Later that night, the Greeks emerged from the secret compartment within the horse, easily overwhelmed the soldiers defending the city’s gates, and opened the gates for more soldiers to pour in, ultimately achieving victory.
Seiji felt this story had many weaknesses to it.
That was the simplified version of the story. There was a more complex one called The Odyssey, but there was no need to go into so much detail.
At any rate, Seiji felt that it was a subtly strange story. He didn’t understand why it was considered a classic back in his previous world.
But the Trojan Horse strategy was a definite strategy that came from this anecdote.
