The story featured heavily in the Little Iliad and the Sack of Troy, both part of the Epic Cycle, but these have only survived in fragments and epitomes.

A malicious computer program that tricks users into willingly running it is also called a ' Trojan horse' or simply a 'Trojan'. Metaphorically, a 'Trojan horse' has come to mean any trick or stratagem that causes a target to invite a foe into a securely protected bastion or place. The Greeks entered and destroyed the city of Troy, ending the war. That night the Greek force crept out of the horse and opened the gates for the rest of the Greek army, which had sailed back under cover of night. The Greeks pretended to sail away, and the Trojans pulled the horse into their city as a victory trophy. But in the Aeneid by Virgil, after a fruitless 10-year siege, the Greeks at the behest of Odysseus constructed a huge wooden horse and hid a select force of men inside, including Odysseus himself. There is no Trojan Horse in Homer's Iliad, with the poem ending before the war is concluded. The Trojan Horse was the wooden horse used by the Greeks, during the Trojan War, to enter the city of Troy and win the war.
