It was not made in the Iliad.

The wooden horse (now known as the Trojan horse) was made after the events of the Iliad, in order to fool the Trojans into letting Greek troops into their city, unbeknownst to the Trojans. These Greek soldiers would then open the gates to the city, letting in the awaiting Greek army.
