In Greek mythology, Sinon (Ancient Greek: Σίνων,[1] from the verb "σίνομαι"—sinomai, "to harm, to hurt"[2]) or Sinopos[3] was a Greek warrior during the Trojan War.
He is not mentioned by Homer, but his story is given in the Aeneid of Virgil and other accounts, as a treacherous agent of the Greeks who misleads the Trojans, encouraging them to bring the Trojan Horse inside the city. He sometimes appears in art, usually being dragged into Troy as a captive, with the horse behind him.
