The Greeks knew that they were going to loose if they didn't come up with something crafty, so to main Grecian strategist, Ulysses, came up with a plan. The next day, when the Trojans went to fight, there was no one on the battle field, except for one man. They took him captive. The man told them that he had abandoned the Greeks because they had retreated, and that they had left a gigantic wooden horse that was blessed by Athena so that, if they brought it into the city, she would grant them success in war. Believing the man, the Trojans found and brought the horse to the city. The only problem was that it was too big to fit through the doors of the wall surrounding Troy. Eager to gain success in battle, they tore down just enough wall to bring the horse in. The Trojans partied until late the next morning. When the Greeks were sure that everyone was asleep, they burst out of the horse and attacked the city. The Grecian captive sent smoke signals to the "retreating" ships, and they turned around to come help their friends. They took all the women, then let the city of Troy burned to ashes. Only three men survived, and they ran as far away from Troy as possible. Their dissidents founded Rome, and eventually conquered Greece. (Talk about bad karma. lol)

Why do the Achaeans took so long to defeat the Trojans?
We do not know much about the actual timing of the Trojan War, so this will focus on what is written in The Iliad and The Odyssey. The first issue is that the beachhead was difficult for the Greeks to take. The ground was strongly sloped and the Trojans had the high-ground. The second major issues is that Ancient Greeks did not have sophisticated siege weaponry, which meant that it was effectively impossible for them to breach the Trojan Walls surrounding the city until Odysseus came up with the idea of the Trojan Horse, which allowed for the Trojans to "self-breach" the city walls.
