		That horse, Odysseus advised, was to be left abandoned in the plain, and the Achaean army should burn the tents and sail away to Tenedos (the island off the Troad), so that the Trojans, believing that the invaders were gone, should come to the deserted Achaean camp and find the horse.
		When the horse was ready, the Achaeans let the best among them hide inside it, burned their tents, and leaving only Sinon behind, sailed away either to Tenedos or to cape Sigeum where they were to wait for a signal from the same Sinon.
		It is told that when the WOODEN HORSE was in the city, Helen went round it and called the names of different Achaean commanders, imitating the voices of each of their beloved wives.
