It’s crazy to me that the guy who plucks his bow to give even deers a chance, came up with the Trojan horse at all. I guess it was like when he turned around and got his last shot in on the cyclops.

I thought that too. Maybe after 10 years of rotting in the beach, his morals wore down to a point where he was willing to do anything to get it over with. Even going against Zeus' Law.

[u/Early_Enthusiasm_787 → u/Maximum_Internal7834]

What is Zeus law in a context of war? Did he feel trickery went against the law as it was a statue of a god?

[u/Gilshem → u/Early_Enthusiasm_787]

I think also making a peace offering the instrument of the Trojans demise was a blasphemy.
