I believe the Trojan horse is real because there are stone tablets and plus I have this quote; 'Archaeological evidence shows that Troy was indeed burned down; but the wooden horse inspired by the way ancient siege-engines were clothed with damp horse-hides to stop them being set alight.'

"But most scholars agree that Troy it's self was no imaginary shinngri-la but a real city and that the Trojan war indeed happened" - National Geographic

It all started with Paris and Helen. Paris ❤️ed Helen, so one night he KIDNAPPED her!!!! So, Menelaus - Helens hubby- commissioned an army against Troy. But does that sound real? Or like a John Green novel?!?! HUH! Personally I think it's just a story. Maybe they did have a war, but was it really started because of Helen or Paris? Or did it. Honestly it sounds more like a story then an actual event. Praise to Homer, Bravo for your storys. Nice imagination!
