But we start in Athlone outside Cape Town with the incident that became known as the Trojan Horse killings. Some 1200 years before the birth of Christ the Greeks waged war against the people of Troy. After ten years of war the Greeks had a brilliant plan, they ordered master carpenter Epeius to build a huge hollow wooden horse and offered it to the Trojans as a gift. The Trojans accepted it and let the horse into the city walls. Once inside, Greek warriors climbed out of the belly of the horse and opened the city gates to their comrades, who then destroyed Troy. This is why the incident in October 1985 in Athlone was called the Trojan Horse killings.
