Not a lot of people read Plato but pointing out the horse was filled with troops isn't a spoiler.
I'm not a classicist but I'm guessing you meant Homer? Though Plato used the reference to said horse I think he did it on the basis that his audience knew the story already.

Ack, maybe I'm missing something here?
