Significance The quotation on the previous slide has the king of Sparta talking about the praiseworthy things that Odysseus did at the end of the Trojan war. Menelaos, like others, recognizes what Odysseus has accomplished using his brain. It was Odysseus who came up with the brilliant idea of the Trojan horse. The Trojan horse allowed the Greeks to have a great victory, and afterwards Odysseus is celebrated and praised for his intelligence as well as his skill in battle. To accurately play Odysseus, you will need to show that balance between intelligence and strength in battle. The plan involving the Trojan horse was not all about brute strength and force. It was all about strategy.
