Evil deceiver
Invented the Trojan horse
Women, children died

NOTE: One of the evil advisors punished in the eighth bolgia of Circle 8 is Ulysses, who came up with the idea of the Trojan horse, the stratagem that resulted in the sack of Troy. During the sack, many women and children died.

NOTE: The fullest retelling of the story of the story of the Trojan horse is found in Virgil’s AENEID.
