The Death to Troy

The Trojans fought the Greeks back in the day. At first, Herodotus found the land of Troy and wanted to report home the finding. As he was going to leave, some person of Troy injured Herodotus. So, he told that someone injured him and told about the land, and Sparta sent naval fleets to conquer the land. The Greeks fought merciless with Achilles the Greek with the army of Sparta against Troy and its neighboring allies for nine years! In the middle of the war, the Spartans realized that neighboring allies were supporting the Trojans. The Greeks had great victories, killed Trojan hero Hector, and defeated ally Penthesilea. However, they couldn't break the walls down. So, they decided to flee to act like they lost. They left Sinon and the Trojan Horse and the people of Troy accepted the horse as a gift of Athena according to Sinon. That night to celebrate the victory Trojans got drunk. The soldiers in the horse got out and killed all the people excluding Sinon. That's how Troy was demolished. Weren't the Greeks smart or the Trojans were kind of dumb?

    I think the Trojans, were just dumb. A mean look right after the enemy army leaves, a huge wooden horse that came out of nowhere pops up right by the wall. Not suspicious at all. Also this war is a myth meaning not necessarily real. If this had been real, the Trojan army must have been tiny. The Greek army from a giant horse which probably houses maybe 40 people, Vs a huge city with walls that can defend against the entire Greek army, the city falls... Is this at all realistic?
