The Greek siege of Troy had lasted for ten years. The Greeks devised a new ruse: a giant hollow wooden horse. It was built by Epeius and filled with Greek warriors led by Odysseus. The rest of the Greek army appeared to leave, but actually hid behind Tenedos. Meanwhile, a Greek spy, Sinon, convinced the Trojans the horse was a gift despite the warnings of Laocoon and Cassandra; Helen and Deiphobus even investigated the horse; in the end, the Trojans accepted the gift. It should be noted here that the horse was the sacred animal of Poseidon —during the contest with Athena over the patronship of Athens, Poseidon gave men the horse, whilst Athena gave the olive tree.

The Trojans hugely celebrated the end of the siege, so that, when the Greeks emerged from the horse, the city was in a drunken stupor. The Greek warriors opened the city gates to allow the rest of the army to enter, and the city was pillaged ruthlessly —all the men were killed, and all the women and children were taken into slavery.

A destructive program that masquerades as a benign application. Unlike viruses, Trojan horses do not replicate themselves but they can be just as destructive. One of the most insidious types of Trojan horse is a program that claims to rid your computer of viruses but instead introduces viruses onto your computer.
The term comes from the a Greek story of the Trojan War, in which the Greeks give a giant wooden horse to their foes, the Trojans, ostensibly as a peace offering. But after the Trojans drag the horse inside their city walls, Greek soldiers sneak out of the horse's hollow belly and open the city gates, allowing their compatriots to pour in and capture Troy.

The Trojan Horse is part of the myth of the Trojan War, as told in Virgil's Latin epic poem The Aeneid. The events of this myth take place after Homer's Iliad, and before both Homer's The Odyssey and Virgil's The Aeneid. Although this incident is mentioned in the Odyssey:It was built by Epeius and filled with Greek warriors led by Odysseus.

I'm not sure of the person's name. But it was the Trojan army, in the days that Troja existed. The Trojan horse was big wooden horse on wheels, in which soldiers hid, until the horse stopped near the castle that the soldiers were to raid.

Agamemnon created it. well the plan for it anyway. He was ther general who was trying to invade troy to retrieve his brothers wife helen. Troy was a massive fort city and to destroy the gates was not as easy a task as agamemnon thought. After a huge battle that resulted in a tie he decided to use this bit of trickery. He took all the wood he could find, Built the hollow horse and then invaded the city with a sneak attack from inside their own walls

Odysseus came up with an idea to ambush troy with some wise mechanism. It wasnt really a "horse". They said it was a horse because they couldnt figure out what the real thing was. All the historians know is that it was something wise.

The Greeks did to conquer the city of Troy. Troy being too heavily fortified and Troy's army being to big and too strong to overpower using conventional methods.
