The Trojan war ended when the Greeks left a huge wooden horse outside the gates of Troy. (The Greeks couldn't get past the walls of Troy) The Trojans, seeing the horse, thought it was an offering to the Gods, and wheeled it into the city; they saw that the Greeks were gone, so presumed they had given up and gone home. There were great celebrations; the Trojans didn't realize that the horse had a hollow belly, and that inside, were Greek soldiers waiting until nightfall to emerge from the horse. Night came, and the Trojans were all asleep and drunk from the celebrations, so they didn't notice as the Greeks came out from the horse, and slaughtered them all while they were unconscious. Some women were taken by the Greeks to go back to Sparta etc. as spoils (too unpleasant to mention,) particularly King Priam's (Troy's king) daughters, and wife. King Priam was killed, along with his sons. Helen (the woman the war was fought about - supposedly daughter of Zeus (in swan form) and the queen of Sparta; because of her supposed astounding beauty,) was taken back by Menelaus, and she lived out her days with her abandoned daughter Hermione and her husband (Menelaus.) Troy was razed to the ground; burned by the Greeks.
