“The Democratic Trojan Horse”

Cartoonist A. B. Frost adapts the story of the Trojan Horse to the 1880
presidential election. According to myth, Paris, the king of Troy, sparked the
Trojan War by abducting Helen, the daughter the Greek god, Zeus, by his wife,
Leda. After laying siege to Troy for 10 years, the Greeks constructed a gigantic
horse with a secret interior room into which Greek soldiers were placed. The
rest of the Greeks feigned retreat while the Trojan Horse was delivered to the
gates of the city. Accepting the gift, the Trojan soldiers celebrated their good
fortune with a night of drunken revelry. With the inebriated Troy soldiers
unconscious or stupefied, their Greek counterparts emerged from the wooden beast
to capture and burn the city. |
