希腊人向特洛伊人献上了一匹漂亮的木马作为胜利的战利品。特洛伊人信任希腊人的诚信，收下了这匹马。但是，希腊人的权威并不是建立在荣誉之上，而是建立在欺骗之上。他们利用赋予他们的权力去毁灭特洛伊，而不是庆祝特洛伊。

The Greeks presented a handsome wooden horse to the Trojans as a victory trophy. The Trojans trusted the integrity of the Greeks and took in the horse. But the Greek’s authority was grounded not in honor but in deceit. They used the authority granted them to exercise power to destroy, not celebrate, Troy.
