I wouldn't say that the Trojan Horse could be considered a metaphor for war. The Trojan Horse was a device that was used as a guise to win a war, but it is not a representation of a war in and of itself.

Though you could make an argument for your claim, it might be better to say that the Trojan Horse is a metaphor for the consequences of war.

Not really, no.
The trojan horse is a metaphor for anything that looks innocent but holds a lot of trouble if let inside the walls.
It's a good metaphor for doubt....

Why would a device used *during* a war (as in an instrument of war) be a metaphor for war itself? I suppose it's possible, but I don't see how.

No but it was considered an object that the ancient Greeks used to capture the city of Troy

No. That's like saying guns are a metaphor for killing.

I think its a metaphor for people who don't want to do their own schoolwork

NO it can be real because of the pyramids,the ark,the spynx and all the other hogwash. so why can't a hollow horse have existed.
