A reminder to myself

Did you know the Trojan Horse could have been symbolism for an Earthquake?
As Poseidon was the God of the Sea, Earthquakes and Horses.

His main domain is the ocean, and he is called the “God of the Sea”. Additionally, he is referred to as “Earth-Shaker” due to his role in causing earthquakes, and has been called the “tamer of horses”.

Some mythologists theorize that the story of the Trojan Horse was symbolism for an Earthquake
which weakened the city and allowed the army to overtake it.

The walls of Troy

Poseidon and Apollo, having offended Zeus by their rebellion in Hera’s scheme, were temporarily stripped of their divine authority and sent to serve King Laomedon of Troy. He had them build huge walls around the city and promised to reward them well, a promise he then refused to fulfill. In vengeance, before the Trojan War, Poseidon sent a sea monster to attack Troy. The monster was later killed by Heracles.

Don’t build walls, there is no reward.
