The Trojan Horse is part of the myth of the Trojan War, as told in Virgil's Latin epic poem The Aeneid. The events of this myth take place after Homer's Iliad, and before both Homer's The Odyssey and Virgil's The Aeneid. Although this incident is mentioned in the Odyssey:

- But come now, change thy theme, and sing of the building of the horse of wood, which Epeius made with Athena's help, the horse which once Odysseus led up into the citadel as a thing of guile, when he had filled it with the men who sacked Ilium [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?lookup=hom.+od.+8.487 8.487 ff (trans.

eWEEK Labs Walk-Through: Lotus Symphony 1.1
Mon, 06 Oct 2008 21:35:35 -0400
Lotus Symphony 1.1 is a freely-available office productivity suite from IBM that brings together a trio of word processor, spreadsheet and presentation applications under a Big Blue label. Symphony's interface is new, based on Eclipse, but its internals are old, based on OpenOffice.org 1.1.4; the result is a fairly good productivity suite with an interface that's much fresher-and a feature set that's more stale-than those that grace the OpenOffice.org 3.0 release I recently tested. - Upon firing up the Lotus Symphony 1.1 word processor application, I was impressed right away by its tabbed interface, which makes switching between different documents as well as spreadsheets and presentations as easy as shifting between tabbed pages in Firefox. However, it wasn't...
