One day the people saw a large wooden horse outside the city walls, which looked more like a monster than a horse. But the horse was the symbol of Troy and the people thought that it was a gift from the Goddess Athena. In complete belief they carried the monstrously huge horse into the city and placed it as an offering of thanks to their goddess.

The Trojan horse actually contained some of Greece's best soldiers, who were hiding in its belly. At night they came out and took charge of the whole city, destroying it completely.
