The Greeks built it during the Trojan War.
The Trojan war was fought between the Greeks and the Trojans of the city of Troy located in Asia Minor in Today's country of Turkey. the war started when the Troyan army stolen a Greecian maid named Helen. (Helen of Troy) The Greeks declared war and it lasted a long time. Helen's beauty was so great it is said that her face launched a thousand ships.
The Greeks surrounded the city and lay siege to it for years. In desparation they built a large wooden horse and rolled it to the city gates as a gift to the people of Troy or so the Trojans believed. Hundreds of Greek soldiers were hidden inside. When the Trojan's rolled it into their city gates they thought they won a great vistory because they could no longer see the Greek army. After they got drunken celebrating they slept during the night. The Greeks came out of the horse and slew the Trojan army, took the city and won the war.
The saying "becareful of accepting gifts from Greeks" has its roots in this story.
Troy was thought a myth and Greevian author/story teller Homer wrote of the Trojan War and this incident. Through his writings the city of Troy was discovered.
