Epeius of Phocis

[1] He was also the architect of the Wooden Horse, by means of which the Achaeans took Troy; he was himself among those warriors who hid inside it.

[5] In the Iliad he was victorious after participating in the boxing match against Euryalus[5] at the funeral games in honour of Patroclus.

Later during the funeral games for Achilles he fought Acamas, the son of Theseus, to a stalemate.

He built the Trojan Horse, commissioned by Odysseus because Athena had told him in a dream she would be with him to help build it.

The trap door of the horse was fastened with a special catch that only Epeius could undo.
