Why couldn't the Trojan gods help?

Ah, a very good, a very interesting question. The way Homer presents the action, the Greek gods are universal, they are worshipped by Greek and Trojan alike. Some of the gods were pro Greek and others were pro Trojan. Ultimately they were constrained in the degree to which they could help their side by Zeuss who was all powerful and thus had to consent to whatever they might do. Ultinately it was Zeuss' will that Troy should fall and the Trojan supporters could do nothing about that except save as many Trojans as they could and then harry the Greeks afterward.
