Greek Mythology Ulysses

Ulysses (in Roman Mythology) / Odysseus(in Greek mythology) is the legendary king of Ithaca. He is most recognized for the ten years it took him to return home after the Trojan War and the famous Trojan horse trick he played on the people of Troy. After 10 years of war against the Trojans the Greeks built a huge a horse in which there men were hidden. The Greeks pretended to flee, and the people of Troy claimed the Horse as a sign of victory. That night the Greeks came out of the Horse and opened the gates so the rest of Greek army could come inside. The Greek army entered, and the city was destroyed, ending the 10-year war. The "Trojan Horse" has come to mean a trick that causes someone to take in a foe into a secure or protected place.
