And the word of the day is: subterfuge
Meaning: an artifice or expedient used to evade a rule, escape a consequence, or hide the truth.
“The trojans fell before the subterfuge of greek reins.”

“Looking darkly upon Hector, swift footed Achilles answered:
I cannot forgive you. For as there are no trustworthy oaths between men and lions, there can be no love between you and me. One or the other must fall before then to glut with his blood; Aries, the god who fights under shield’s guard.

Remember every valour of yours. For now the need comes hardest upon you to be a spearman and a bold warrior. There shall be no escape for you. You will pay, in lump, for all those sorrows of my companions you’ve killed in your spear’s fury.” Homer, the Iliad.
