Homer's Iliad does not specifically state how long the building of the Trojan Horse took. It could be assumed that it would take many days to build something that large.
The Greeks built it during the Trojan War. The Trojan war was fought between the Greeks and the Trojans of the city of Troy located in Asia Minor in Today's country of Turkey. the war started when the Troyan army stolen a Greecian maid named Helen. (Helen of Troy) The Greeks declared war and it lasted a long time. Helen's beauty was so great it is said that her face launched a thousand ships. The Greeks surrounded the city and lay siege to it for years. In desparation they built a large wooden horse and rolled it to the city gates as a gift to the people of Troy or so the Trojans believed. Hundreds of Greek soldiers were hidden inside. When the Trojan's rolled it into their city gates they thought they won a great vistory because they could no longer see the Greek army. After they got drunken celebrating they slept during the night. The Greeks came out of the horse and slew the Trojan army, took the city and won the war. The saying "becareful of accepting gifts from Greeks" has its roots in this story. Troy was thought a myth and Greevian author/story teller Homer wrote of the Trojan War and this incident. Through his writings the city of Troy was discovered.

A large wooden horse. I think? If I'm wrong sorry and I hope you find a good answer! :] a huge wooden horse is correct
The Trojans initially thought that the large wooden horse left outside their walls by the Greeks was a peace offering or a gift to the gods. They believed it was a sign of the end of the war and a symbol of victory.
The Greeks built the Trojan Horse using wood, mainly from fir trees. They crafted the horse as a hollow structure large enough to hide soldiers inside, allowing them to infiltrate the city of Troy.
The siege of Troy had lasted for ten years when the Greeks (Odysseus and other leaders) devised a plan to end the war. They constructed a large wooden horse and concealed soldiers inside it, then their armies boarded their ships. The Trojans thought that the Greeks had abandoned the siege and they dragged the wooden horse into the city. At night the Greek armies returned. The soldiers crept out of the horse and opened the city gates thus allowing the Greek armies to rush in and capture the city.
The Trojan Horse.
Large wooden horse used to hide people inside it.
For a long time the battle was only held outside the walls of Troy. But after many years of warfare, Odysseus finally came up with a plan of the trojan horse. A wild tale was concocted that would lead the trojans to believe that they must allow the entrance of the horse. When night came and the trojans were all asleep after their drunken celebration, the greek soldiers came out of the horse and put fire on the houses and killed most of the trojans before the latter learned that they were tricked.
because when the Greeks "fled" they left a large wooden horse because it was a gift to the god Posieden, the god of the sea and horses, asking for a safe journey home. the trojans decided to take the horse to the temple of Poseiden, which let the Greeks gain access to the city of troy. hope this helped! <3lm.
The wooden one who fooled the Trojans was the Trojan Horse, a cunning strategy employed by the Greeks during the Trojan War. The Greeks constructed a large wooden horse and hid soldiers inside, leaving it at the gates of Troy as a supposed offering. The Trojans, believing they had won the war, brought the horse into their city, leading to their downfall when the hidden Greek soldiers emerged at night to open the gates for their comrades. This story is famously recounted in Virgil's "Aeneid" and other ancient texts.
