FUN FACT
The trojans were actually going to burn it until one of the prophets of Apollo threw a spear at it. Suddenly, two giant sea serpents rose out of the water, grabbed him and his two sons, And ripped them apart. Trojans freaked the hell out and fully believed the horse was protected by Poseidon (horses are his one of his favorite creatures). To keep from pissing him off, they veeery carefully pulled it inside.
This is the real reason they accepted the horse.
