Trojan Horse model at Canakkale, Turkey

Model of the Trojan horse from the 2004 film Troy, directed by Wolfgang Petersen, preserved on the seafront at Canakkale, Turkey. Canakkale is on the southern (Asian) coast of the Dardanelles and is the nearest city to the archaeological site of Troy. The original Trojan horse was said to be used by the Greeks to capture the city of Troy from the Trojans during the Trojan War. Greek soldiers hid inside the body of the horse which was pulled into the besieged city by the Trojans, who believed the Greeks to have retreated. Picture by Manuel Cohen
