. . . Sweet Pea is rightfully skeptical of his elder's yarn about a long ago skirmish between Turkey, once called "Troy," and Greece. In the context of POPEYE'S TROJAN HORSE, Popeye and Olive are Turks, and Brutus is a Greek. Sweet Pea murmurs that Brutus could not have had a satchel full of T. N. T. Sticks back then. In Real Life, Brutus kidnapped Olive or Helen on April 1, 1202 BC. The Turks offered their hollow gift horse to the Spartans or Greeks exactly seven years later. Most civilians of Today's Know Nothing age conflate T. N. T. With dynamite. Some guy named Al invented dynamite to blow up party balloons in 1866. Another dude who went by Julius had concocted Trinity Not Tulane, or T. N. T., three years earlier to dye lemonade yellow--Julius later did a similar thing for orange juice, famously still called Orange Julius. Either way, Sweet Pea is correct to call his Pops an ignoramus.
