A real-life application of a Trojan Horse?

Question

What was the concept of the Trojan Horse in myth? How could that be applied to a different idea for a modern-day need or problem? It doesn't necessarily have to be something in a shape of a horse or relate to wars, but has to capture the ingenuity of the idea of the Trojan Horse that helped in winning.

Answer 1

I really don’t understand what these other people are trying to get at. But the whole moral to the story is: do not take gifts from enemies. This is what one of the Greek Priest, Laocoon, said to the Trojans warning them not to take the gift, “I fear the Greeks even when they come bearing gifts.” A story that could be a modern analogy could be… A man and another are competing for the hand of a woman. One of the men knows that she is going on a date that night with his rival. So, he surrenders to his rival and offers him some brownies his mother made as a peace offering. The brownies are full of laxatives. His rival eats the brownies and the gets sick before or during the date with the girl. The rival is emabarrased by the man, and the man gets the girl.
