Trojan Horse.
The Trojan Horse (Δούρειος Ίππος) was created during the Trojan War. It was a wooden horse used by warriors.
Odysseus (Ὀδυσσεύς) invented the Trojan Horse, Epeus (Ἐπειός) built it.
Laocoön (Λᾱοκόων) threw a spear at a wooden horse and was killed by sea serpents.
There were people sitting inside the Trojan Horse. Then they came out of it and took possession of Troy.
Also, the "Trojan Horse" is a metaphor. This means when someone is lured in an insidious way under the guise of a gift.
