Virgil

Either there are Greeks in hiding, 

Concealed by the wood,

Or it’s been built as a machine 

To use against our walls . . .

Or it hides some other trick: 

Trojans, don’t trust this horse

Whatever it is, I’m afraid of Greeks

Even those bearing gifts.

From A. S. Kline's translation of Virgil's Aeneid.

The Aeneid is the national epic of Rome -- it's one part Iliad and one part Odyssey.  Its opening line -- "Arma virumque cano" ("Of arms and the man I sing") gave George Bernard Shaw the title for his 1894 play, Arms and the Man.

Virgil (which is short for Publius Vergilius Maro) was born on this date in 70 B.C.
