they did not believe her and thought she was a mad woma.
The Trojans did not believe in Cassandra's prophecy about the wooden horse because they were skeptical of her warnings, largely due to a curse placed on her by Apollo, which caused others to disbelieve her accurate predictions. Additionally, the sight of the horse, seemingly left as a gift, appealed to their desire for victory and celebration after a long siege. The Trojans were swayed by their own hopes and the manipulative rhetoric of the Greek forces, ultimately leading to their tragic downfall.
The Trojans believed Sinon because he skillfully crafted a convincing story, portraying himself as a victim of the Greeks and claiming that the wooden horse was an offering to appease the gods. His emotional appeal and apparent sincerity won over the Trojans, especially since they were eager to believe in a sign of victory. In contrast, Laocoon's warning about the horse was met with skepticism, as the Trojans dismissed him as a misanthrope and were influenced by their desire to celebrate their supposed victory over the Greeks. Ultimately, their trust in Sinon’s narrative overshadowed Laocoon's caution.
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).
When she failed to return his love, Apollo spitefully declared that when she made a prediction, no one would believe her

King of the Greeks (in reality it was Mycenae) was Agamemnon. I believe the King of the Trojans was Priam. hope this helps! :]
I believe the climax is when the Trojans storm the city by getting in through the Trojan Horse.
