    The phrase “beware Greeks bearing gifts” should actually be “beware of gifts bearing Greeks.”

    And you really oughtta look that gift horse in the mouth to be sure it doesn’t have any Greeks inside.

      But the horse was being pulled by Greek soldiers!

      So the saying should be, “beware of Greeks bearing gifts bearing Greeks.” 😂
