Sinon is the Greek who lets himself be captured by the Trojans to sell the deception of the Wooden Horse. With a web of lies he convinces them he was abandoned for sacrifice and that the horse is a holy offering to Athena. The Trojans haul it inside their walls, and by night Sinon unbars the horse and signals the fleet, sealing the city's fall.
