In Book II of the Aeneid the Trojans notice that the Greek ships have gone from the beach in front of Troy. In fact the Greeks have only moved their navy around the headland to Tenedos - but the Trojans don't know this. (Vergil makes it clear that the Trojans are ready to believe that the Greeks are gone, because that is what they want to believe).
The Trojans leave the city and walk around the abandoned Greek camp. They find the Wooden Horse, and they capture Sinon - a Greek warrior who claims to have deserted the Greek army.
Sinon confirms that the Greeks have abandoned the siege - but he is a carefully planted spy. (Sinon will later be the one who opens the horse once it is within Troy's walls).

How did Vergil's Aeneid re waken roman pride?
The Aeneid is an epic about Aeneas, a hero of the Trojan war who sailed the Mediterranean Sea, landed in Italy and went to the city of Lavium in Latium (the land of the Latins) just south of Rome (Rome was a Latin city). Latinus, the king of the Latins welcomed him and is companions. Latinus and Aeneas' men defeated the Rutuli in a war. This is how the Aeneids ends. The story of the Aeneid is linked with a Roman legend according to which, through Aeneas, the Romans were descendants of the Trojans. According to the legend of the foundation of Rome, Ascanius, the son of Aeneas, founded the city of Alba Longa and its Royal house. In the very early days of the Latins Alba Longa (not Rome) was the chief city of the Latins. The legend said that the founder of Rome, Romulus, and his twin brother, Remus were born into the Royal family of Alba Longa and, therefore, descendants of Aeneas and the Trojans. The Romans claimed that they were descendants of the heroic Trojans and were proud of this.
