"Achilles brought 50 ships to Troy. Each ship held 50 men, and the entire force was divided into five battalions whose five commanders answered to Achilles" (Iliad 16.180-183). If we assume that each ship was the same size, then according to Homer...50. But Achilles isn't a king. I think it may be safe to assume that all ships were not built the same ( depending on location, timber available) and that Agamemnon, and other kings (Odysseus - maybe Menelaus) may be able to afford "larger" ships?

Who evacuated the city of Troy?
The city of Troy was famously evacuated during the Trojan War, primarily due to the cunning strategy of the Greeks, who used the ruse of the Trojan Horse. After a prolonged siege, the Greeks hid inside the giant wooden horse, which the Trojans brought into their city, believing it to be a peace offering. At night, the Greek soldiers emerged, opened the gates for the rest of their army, and ultimately sacked the city. Thus, it was the Greeks who orchestrated the evacuation of Troy, leading to its downfall.
