How did the war end and who won?

The victors were the Achaeans. The Achaeans captured the city, retrieved Helen, punished the Trojans by burning the city to the ground, slaughtered many Trojans and sold what remained into slavery. Hector's infant son Astyanax was thrown down from the walls of Troy, to end the royal line, and the possibility of a son's revenge. Antenor, who had given hospitality to Menelaus and Odysseus when they asked for the return of Helen, and who had advocated so, was spared, along with his family. Aeneas took his father on his back and fled, and, according to Apollodorus, was allowed to go because of his piety. Then the Achaean Greeks returned home with the spoils of war. The 'spoils of war' was the compensation in archaic Greece for military service.
