The Greeks left a huge hollowed wooden horse as an offering to the Gods and pretend to leave Troy. The Trojans took the horse in the city but it was full inside with hidden Greeks. The following night, when everyone were asleep, the Greeks got out from the horse and open the gates( we don't have the name of the Greek(s) that actually opened the gate).
