Why in computing a Trojan is called a Trojan when in reality it should be called a greek. as it was the greeks that hid inside the Trojan horse?
When the Greeks left the wooden horse outside Troy they also left the spy Sinon to be captured by the Trojan forces. Sinon explained to the Trojans that the horse was a charm to get the Greek ships home safely, and that if the Trojans could take the horse inside their city it would protect Troy from future Greek attack. The idea was that the Trojan's claimed the horse as a gift, hoping to benefit from it; but this was what led to the fall of their city. A virus which describes itself as an app plays the same trick: it looks like a gift, but in fact is a poison. So Trojan is the correct term.

Conflict of The Iliad and Odyssey?
Achilles is a G!Well, the great hero Achilles refused to fight for the Achaeans (Greeks), so there lay our conflict. The epic is mostly about how the Achaean forces suffered countless losses because they didn't have the berserk Achilles behind them, slicing down men. And because Achilles is a one-of-a-kind warrior, they needed him. Then because he still refused to fight (something about his honor being wounded) his close friend wore his armour to fool the Trojans. Only problem? Patroclus (the friend) got himself killed by the Trojan hero Hector. So the new conflict is Achilles and his thirst for revenge against Hector. How that's resolved? Simple. Achilles kills Hector.

How did odusseus leave the Trojan war?
Odysseus didn't exactly "leave the Trojan War," but he did "end it," in a way. He came up with a plan that involved the construction of a giant horse (the "Trojan Horse") which he filled with several Greek warriors, including himself. He then ordered the Greek forces to retreat far enough away from Troy that the Trojans thought that the Greek army had left. The Trojans were overjoyed the next morning when they realized that the Greeks had left. When they went to confirm this, they found the giant horse the Greeks had left behind. Because horses are a symbol of Poseidon, the patron god of Troy, they believed that Poseidon had somehow contrived to send the Greeks home. In celebration, they dragged the horse inside the city walls against the advice of the Trojan princess, Kassandra, a powerful seer and prophetess of Apollo. That night, while Troy slept, Odysseus ans his men climbed out of the horse and opened the gates of the city to the Greek army. The Greeks conquered and pillaged the city, and then went home, thus ending the Trojan war. Naturally, Odysseus went with them (thus "leaving" the Trojan war). Source: Homer's "The Iliad"
