The Greeks started to look for a secret way to enter Troy. The results came out as they built a giant hollow wooden horse that could fit many men into it. If anything went wrong they would go to a nearby island and hide. They dragged the horse through the gate and up to Athena's temple. In the middle of the night the doors of the horse opened and one by one they all got out. They opened the gates so more could go in. They started fires to every building. Everyone at Troy was getting killed. Troy ended up burning down into many fires and rubles.
