Can anyone translate this:
equum ligneum faciunt, ingentem; multos viros fortes in equum immittunt. illi in equum ascendunt et in ventre equi se celant.
THANK YOU!

It is a simplified version of Homer's Trojan horse story out of the Odyssey, retold in the present tense.
In straightforward English:
They make a huge wooden horse; They place many strong men inside (the horse).These men climb into the horse and hide themselves in the horse's belly.

They make an enormous wooden horse ; they put therein many brave men.They climb up the horse and they hide inside horse's belly.
It's clearly from Odyssey ( the wooden horse of Troy)
