The Trojan Horse

In the story, the Iliad, the Geeks breach the city walls of Troy by hiding inside a giant wooden horse presented as a gift to the Trojans. The Trojans bring the horse inside the city walls and at night the Greeks come out from the horse and attack the Trojans. However in real life the city thought to be Troy appeared to be destroyed by an earthquake and not a war. The trojan horse could have been a metaphor for Poseidon, a god associated with horses who was both the god of the seas and earthquakes.

the lives of leaders

The lives of great leaders shows them achieving great things and overcomming setbacks and obstacles when they come to them. I dont nessesarily think less of leaders who show weakness or encounter failure because everybody does that, I just see more in leaders who overcome their weakness and when they fail they come back and try again. One great leader was Geronimo. He was a native american leader who fought against mexico and the u.s. for their expansion into apache territory.
