Imagine living and shitting inside of a hollow horse.

"We see men drowning as the tide comes in, and Menelaus talking about the smell of piss and shit from inside that thing as they waited for their chance to strike. At one point, a guy gets stabbed with a sword after a soldier pokes the horse with it, and Odysseus quickly wipes the blood off the blade while Menelaus covers his mouth." https://filmalysis.substack.com/p/why-the-odyssey-proves-christopher
