Hmm, it seems like people assume the Trojan horse was used by the Trojans. Nope people, it was made and used by the Greeks to sneak into Troy.

The Trojans were a normal bunch of people. They weren't warriors, they were traders. Their greatest ability was in taming horses, and this is why the Greeks chose a wooden horse to get into Troy - as the Trojans would believe it was an offering to honour them. In Homer, the only person in Troy who lacks dignity is Paris - the cowardly, stuck-up little wretch who was the cause of the war. Even Helen can't stand him. The rest of the Trojans meanwhile are admirable folks. Priam is a wise old king, who cares deeply for his family and his people. Hector is not only a great soldier, but a good husband and father who dearly loves his wife and baby son.

It would be hard to compare them to anyone today, mainly because the Trojans of myth were set in the Bronze Age, and times were much much different. We cannot compare civilisations over such a massive length of time, as so much has changed.

Well only their decedents exist in Greece today... And there is not a major difference between them and the average Greek person today.................. Now back in their hey day they were a fierce warrior group of people... Their business was fighting and then fight some more...... They were not raised to be artisan or farmers... They only existed to be fighters..... They are also one of major reason that Greece exist as a free country today......Because they gave Greece the needed strength to remain intact in spite of the Romans conquering them...... For when Rome conquered the Greeks.. They became more like Greeks.. Also the Romans took all the Greek Gods and renamed them As well as have the Greek rebuild their country... The average home and building in Rome were designed by the Greeks, And not by the Romans people....... Also the average Roman learned to speak Greek and study under the Greek system and not the other way around...... So the Romans really got a lot of credit for being Greeks........................... The Spartan Was black and when they were soon accepted as being Greece citizen.... It would take months for me to tell all I know about the Trojans but this should give you a very basic Idea about who they were... Also the battle of the 300 will forever remain A part of military history never to be fore-gotten......................................................................................
