Monty Python And The Holy Grail In Homer's The Odyssey

The Odyssey, a mysterious story written by a physically unknown author by the name of Homer, is a novel about the travels and family of Odysseus, son of Laertes. On a seemingly unrelated note: Monty Python and the Holy Grail is about the journey of King Arthur and his chosen knights to find the Holy Grail.

Sir Galahad, the pure, during his quest to find the Holy Grail, discovered Castle Anthrax.
The Trojan Horse was a deviant plan to construct a giant wooden horse, hide soldiers inside it, and make the citizens of Troy believe it was a trophy. Odysseus and most of his crew pretended to sail away, as the people of Troy brought the horse into their city. That night, the soldiers in the horse got out and let the rest of Odysseus’ crew in, and then proceeded to tear down the city of Troy (Odyssey, Book 3.) Just as this happened in The Odyssey, in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the group decided to fool the French men with the Trojan Rabbit. With the exact same plan, except with a Rabbit, the king and knights could have won. But what fun is that? Actually, they forgot to include people inside the rabbit, and it went downhill from
