EDITORS COMMENTS
The Greeks Climb out of the Wooden Horse, illustration from Newnes Pictorial Book of Knowledge (litho) captures a pivotal moment in ancient Greek mythology. This monochrome print by C. Dudley Tennant depicts the infamous Trojan War strategy devised by Odysseus and his fellow Greeks. With meticulous detail, this children's illustration brings to life the deceitful nature of warfare as depicted in Homer's epic poem, The Iliad. The towering wooden horse looms over the city walls of Troy, concealing within it a hidden army ready to strike at their unsuspecting enemies. The image evokes a sense of tension and anticipation as soldiers cautiously descend down ladders from within the belly of this giant equine structure. Their faces betray both determination and trepidation as they prepare for an audacious attack on their Trojan foes. This engraving serves as a reminder that even in ancient times, dishonesty and trickery played significant roles in military strategies. It symbolizes not only the cunning tactics employed during war but also highlights human ingenuity when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to an era where mythological tales intertwined with historical events. It is through such visual representations that we can appreciate the enduring power of storytelling and its ability to captivate audiences across generations.
