Trojan Horse (disambiguation)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Trojan Horse, from Greek mythology, was a giant hollow horse containing Greek soldiers, used to overtake the city of Troy during the Trojan War.

It has since become a metaphor for any person or thing that appears innocent or benign, but actually presents danger or harmful intent.
