Geocache Description:

Troy - The Wooden Horse

(för svenska se nedan)

WARNING: This is a so-called "offset cache", a one-step multi-cache. The cache is hidden close to the coordinates, but not exactly there; see below.


The Trojan Horse

Story so far

The Greeks have besieged the city of Troy for many years, which has resulted in many casualties on both sides. Ulysses (Odysseus), the smartest of the Greeks, realizes that they can only win the war by using their wits instead of matching their strengths with the Trojans.

... Fracti bello fatisque repulsi
ductores Danaum, tot iam labentibus annis,
instar montis equum divina Palladis arte
aedificant, sectaque intexunt abiete costas:
votum pro reditu simulant; ea fama vagatur.
Huc delecta virum sortiti corpora furtim
includunt caeco lateri, penitusque cavernas
ingentis uterumque armato milite complent.

-- From the "Aeneis", by Vergilius

(After many years have slipped by, the leaders of the Greeks,
opposed by the Fates, and damaged by the war,
build a horse of mountainous size, through Pallas’s divine art,
and weave planks of fir over its ribs:
they pretend it’s a votive offering: this rumour spreads.
They secretly hide a picked body of men, chosen by lot,
there, in the dark body, filling the belly and the huge
cavernous insides with armed warriors.
-- Translation by A. S. Kline)
