I would say that it means that people were fearful from something behind them, and some people were lost, it was cruel and scary but at the same it was beautiful that would make you lose all faith then get it all back again.
They are treated as children, rather than as knowledgeable individuals, and are basically taken care of until they're killed off
I’m not writing a summary for this
Odysseus won the war by hiding inside the hallow horse. It was then brought into the city, and later on Trojans partied, got drunk, and fell asleep. After, the Greeks got out of the horse, opened the city gates for the other Greek soldiers to come in, slaughtered the Trojans, and burned their city.
When he escaped the Cyclop, he got it drunk, so he could fall asleep. After plunging his eye, he escaped under the sheeps.
Comparison; Odysseus used camouflage to his advantage with himy hiding inside the horse and hiding under the sheeps.
