Fellow subscribers,
I asked my professor the other week why did the Greeks build a huge
horse;
why not a huge statue of Niki or some other figure? He researched and came
up with that this was a good figure for a seige engine. I still want to
know if their is some significance in a horse,like the sign given by Juno
that a spirited head of a horse would mark the foundation for Carthage. Is
there a reason to be found as to why the "Trojan Horse"? Why not another
image? Somewhere there must be a little something that explains why a
horse? Did the Trojans rever horses?
Curious and must be more than a good model for a seige
engine,
Kimber
