Once upon a time, there was an ancient city on the coast of Turkey named
Troy. It was located across the Aegean Sea from the Greek city-state of Sparta.
The wife of King, Helen was kidnapped by a prince of Troy. Then the king of
Sparta called the other Greek city-states to help him get her back. A thousand
Greek ships set sail for Troy to help him.

The city of Troy was protected by a high wall built around the city. Some parts
of the wall were 20 feet high. There were gates in the wall to let people in and
out but it provided great defense for the people of Troy. It gave the Trojan
warriors a relatively safe place to stand, while they rained arrows down on the
people below, who were trying to break into the city.

At the time of this story, Greek warriors had been trying to break the wall
around Troy for about ten years. The Greeks could not find a way in, and the
Trojans did not seem able to drive the Greeks away.

Things looked pretty hopeless until Odysseus, a famous ancient Greek general,
thought of a trick. It was the custom back then to leave a peace offering
behind to admit defeat. Odysseus suggested the Greeks build a huge, heavy,
beautiful wooden horse, and leave it outside the gates of Troy. Then, the
entire Greek army would pretend to leave, as if they were headed for home.
But it was a trick. The horse would be hollow. Thirty men would be hiding
inside. The very best Greek artists got busy carving the giant wooden horse,
adding great detail, because everything in the Greek world had to be as
beautiful as possible.

When it was done, the Greek warriors pretended to sail away, leaving the
horse behind. The people of Troy rushed outside, cheering their victory! They
dragged the heavy horse inside the city gates and put it on display, which is
just what the Greek general thought they would do - gloat.

That night, while the Trojan people were sleeping, the men hiding inside the
wooden horse climbed out and opened the gates. The waiting Greek army
entered Troy. That was the end of Troy.
