End of the Trojan War

     The Trojan War was a total of nine years. The war consisted against Troy and neighboring cities because the Greeks found out that some of Troy's supplies had been coming from these cities. The Greeks finally came up with a tactic  to get into the walls of Troy. The famous Trojan Horse was created. This was a huge, hollow horse made from wood which carried soldiers inside of it, but the people of Troy wouldn't know this. Thinking that the Greeks finally gave up and sailed away, they brought the Trojan Horse into their city to celebrate the victory. Then when everyone was sleeping, the soldiers came out of the trap door of the horse and burned the city.They killed the men and took the women and children as prisoners. In this battle, Paris shot an arrow into the heel of Achilles; the one place where he would die if you shot him. Helen was later reunited with King Menelaus and the city of Troy was left untouched.
