00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
The Trojan Horse

2
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Long ago in ancient Greece,

3
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:29,000
a Trojan man called Paris kidnapped a Greek woman called Helen.

4
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Helen, I love you! Come to Troy!

5
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Help! Save me!

6
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,000
The Greeks were very angry.

7
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Let's rescue Helen and destroy Troy!

8
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,000
For a long time, the Greeks were outside Troy.

9
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,000
It was impossible for the Greeks to rescue Helen.

10
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,000
How can we go inside the city?

11
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,000
I've got an idea.

12
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Castor's idea was to build the biggest horse in the world.

13
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Come on, men! Climb inside the horse!

14
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:23,000
The next day, the Greeks weren't outside the city, but there was a big horse.

15
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Look! An enormous horse!

16
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Paris, where are the Greeks?

17
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,000
The Trojans were happy with the horse, but Cassandra was worried.

18
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,000
It's a present from the Greeks!

19
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Be careful! The Greeks are very clever!

20
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,000
That night, the people of Troy were very happy.

21
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Hurrah for Troy!

22
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000
The Greeks weren't very strong.

23
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000
And Castor wasn't very clever.

24
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,000
At midnight, all the Trojans were asleep, but the Greeks were awake.

25
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Find Helen and burn the city!

26
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,000
The next morning, the city of Troy was in ruins.

27
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Were you all inside the horse?

28
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Yes, we were. It was a good plan.

29
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
You are clever, Castor.

30
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,000
The Trojan War was in the year 1250 before Christ.

31
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,000
The Greeks won the war and the Trojans lost.

32
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,000
The Greeks won the war and destroyed the city of Troy.

33
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:56,000
This story is told in the Aeneid of Virgil, a Latin poem, and in Homer's Odyssey.

34
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,000
The Aeneid

35
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,000
The Aeneid

36
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:20,000
The Aeneid

37
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,000
The Aeneid
