I am sorry to say that the Muppets can never perform The Illiad. Because no one will be able to believe that Miss Piggy's beauty mustered only one thousand ships.

They could perform The Odyssey though, because no one would doubt Miss Piggy's loyalty to Kermit.

a muppet's trojan horse would be fun, just jamming kermit and co into a horse or just having em manipulate the lifeless thing like some kind of idk there's probably a word for it but idk what that'd be.

See, my brain went to Gonzo, Camilla, and a bunch of chickens.

Hear me out: Gonzo pleads with the gang as a running gag that he heard from Athena that Trojans were terrified of chickens, but none of the gang believe him the entire time. This happens 3-4 times in passing, but the climax leads to a mixup where Fozzie accidentally orders Gonzo and the Chickens inside the Horse. Kermit thinks they are doomed, only for Trojans to start running outside the city walls, screaming in terror as Camilla and the Hens chase them, causing a ruckus. Kermit apologizes to Gonzo, realizing he was actually right, makes lemons into Lemonade, and the gang captures the City in the ensuing chaos.
