In a nutshell :



Trojans visit Greece



Trojan prince fancies Greek wife



Trojan prince abducts / elopes with Greek wife



Greek husband cheesed off



Greek husband convinces mates to invade Troy to recover wife



Greeks attack Troy



Stalemate for many years



Greeks pretend to clear off and leave large wooden horse as a prezzy



Trojans wheel horse into city, have a big party and get drunk



Greek warriors hiding in horse open city gates and allow rest of Greek army



Greeks slaughter Trojans and raze city



Odysseus gets lost on the way home



For a full story, read Homer's Iliad (see link 1). If you don't have time for this, read Sparknotes on the Iliad (see link 2) or read the Wikipedia entry (see link 3)



Wat happened in the trojan war?antispyware



the greeks built a wooden horse and hid into it, the trojans too the horse into the city, during the nigth the greeks came out of the horse opened the city doors and llet the greek army in and they killed most of the troyans, the one that were left went to italy and founded rome
The war sprang from a quarrel between the goddesses Athena, Hera and Aphrodite, after Eris, the goddess of strife and discord, gave them a golden apple with the inscription ''to the fairest'' (sometimes known as the Apple of Discord). The goddesses went to Paris, who judged that Aphrodite, as the ''fairest'', should receive the apple. In exchange, Aphrodite made Helen, the most beautiful of all women, fall in love with Paris, who took her to Troy. Agamemnon, king of Mycenae, and the brother of Helen's husband Menelaus, led an expedition of Achaean troops to Troy and besieged the city for ten years. After the deaths of many heroes, including the Achaeans Achilles and Ajax, and the Trojans Hector and Paris, the city fell to the ruse of the Trojan Horse. The Achaeans mercilessly slaughtered the Trojans and desecrated the temples, thus earning the gods' wrath. Few of the Achaeans returned to their homes and many founded colonies in distant shores. The Romans later traced their origin to Aeneas, one of the Trojans, who was said to have led the surviving Trojans to Italy.
I'll try to give you an overview but you should read Homer's The Illiad.
