The Greeks were initially unable to conquer Troy due to a combination of strong defenses, including the city's formidable walls and strategic location, as well as the resilience and skill of the Trojan defenders. The protracted siege lasted ten years, and internal disputes among the Greek leaders further hindered their efforts. It wasn't until the Greeks devised the cunning strategy of the Trojan Horse that they were finally able to infiltrate the city and achieve victory.
The Dorian Greeks and the Sea Peoples.
The Greeks fought a ten-year war against the Trojans, known as the Trojan War. This conflict was famously depicted in Homer's epic poems, the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey." The war began over the abduction of Helen, the wife of Menelaus, by Paris of Troy, leading to a coalition of Greek city-states led by Agamemnon to besiege the city of Troy. The war ultimately ended with the Greeks' cunning use of the Trojan Horse to infiltrate and conquer the city.
Mycenaean Greeks
The Greek civilization that attacked Troy around 1250 BC was primarily represented by the Mycenaeans. This conflict is famously depicted in Homer's epic poems, particularly the "Iliad," which narrates the events of the Trojan War. The war was characterized by the siege of the city of Troy, culminating in the Greeks' use of the cunning strategy of the Trojan Horse to gain entry and ultimately conquer the city.
After the fall of Troy, which traditionally marks the end of the Trojan War, the Greeks did not rule Troy for a significant period. According to myth, the Greeks sacked and burned the city, leading to its destruction. The aftermath of the war and the fate of Troy are more about the return of the Greek heroes to their homes rather than a long-lasting Greek rule over Troy itself. Historically, the city was eventually rebuilt and continued to exist, but it was no longer under Greek control after the war.

They made a giant wooden horse (the Trojan horse) and the Greeks got inside it. They then left it at the gates of Troy. Thinking it was a gift or a peace offering, the Trojans took the horse inside their walls and celebrated. By night the Trojans were drunk from their party and the Greeks came out, opened the gates for their comrades, and they overthrew the Trojans.
