​A deadly gift: Trojans pull the wooden horse inside the walls of Troy, unaware that warriors lie concealed withing. It is one of many incidents in the Trojan war that received attention from ancient artists. In this case, it is a fresco from Pompeii, dating to the 1st century AD. (Image: Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli)
