-In ancient times, there was a whole corpus of texts and poems that described the Trojan War and its aftermath known as the **Epic Cycle**, some of which mentioned the legendary horse. There was also a whole genre of texts that spawned from the Epic Cycle. While some of these have survived //(ie: [[wp>The Trojan Women]] and the [[wp>Dictys Cretensis|Dictys of Crete]])// many are incomplete //(ie: [[wp>Iliupersis]] and the [[wp>Little Iliad]])//. The horse was also a popular motif on engravings, paintings and vases - again, only of which some have survived to the present day.+In ancient times, there was a whole corpus of texts and poems that described the Trojan War and its aftermath known as the **Epic Cycle**, some of which mentioned the legendary horse.
