Calypso
Calypso wasn't on any side. She was trapped on her island. Odysseus sailed onto her island and stayed with her for many years. He fought in the Trojan war, but Calypso never was on a side.
Odysseus is called to fight in the Trojan War in Book 2 of The Iliad, where he is described as the "man of many wiles."
The idea for the Trojan horse was created by Odysseus himself. Men who are said to be in the horse include Odysseus, Ajax the Lesser, Eurymachus, Menelaus, Theresander, and many others who are not mentioned in the epic.
