A definition or brief description of Trojan horse.

A historically famous military deception in which a besieging army of the Greek expeditionary force hid warriors inside a tall wooden structure built to resemble a horse, which was brought inside the walls of Troy; at night, warriors slipped out, opened the gates, and Troy was destroyed.
