      Well, the narrator says at the end of the video, "The Trojan War was *nearing* its end." That does kind of give the implication that it isn't *quite* finished *just yet.*

    According to Stephen Fry's book Troy, 30 greeks were in the horse.
    When Helen, under the spell of Aphrodite (as the last effort to save Troy), mimicked the voices of the wives of the men inside, Odysseus shut the men's mouths.
    Unfortunately, a man called Anticlus was a little impulsive, and Odysseus had to forcefully cover his face from being exposed, which killed him due to suffocation

    There is a version that said that Helena tried to reveal the strategy of the horse by imitating the voices of the wives of the hidden men, it is said that Odysseus had to shut the mouths of several of them to avoid falling into the trap, Helena nevertheless agrees again. part of the Greeks waving a torch from the city walls to warn the fleet that they had to return to take the city whose gates would be opened by the infiltrated men or the Greek troops that were hidden in the distance depending on the version, but another version said that it was Sinon the abandoned Greek who signaled the troops while at the same time he opened the horse for the hidden Greeks to come out and take the gates.

    Regarding 1:53 & 2:06, both the Trojan priest Laocoon and Trojan princess Cassandra warned the Trojans not to trust the Greeks and that the Trojan Horse must be destroyed. "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts". The Trojan Horse was a devious subterfuge for malicious invasion.

    Agmemnon: "We built a wooden horse after fighting a siege for 10 years. So that we may finally conquer Troy! Quite clever eh?"
    Julius Caesar be like: "They're hiding behind their walls? Should have just built your own walls instead around their city. You would have conquered Troy in less than a year. Worked for me on Alesia". 🤣

    Eris would b so proud of herself. So devilishly manipulated events to get what she wanted. The Littlefigure of the Trojan story. In the end here, nobody won. Thousands of lives were lost for many reasons, but mostly cause of Eris's golden apple. If I was Paris, I would've cut the thing in 3 of equal amounts for the goddesses or burned it after I gave understandable reasons to Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite.

    Can we appreciate how bold this move by Odysseus was? This was practically an "all in" move. If the Trojans had decided to burn the horse, the war would be over for the Greeks because their greatest heroes would be dead and their camp destroyed. War would have to begin from square one again, by capturing and securing the beach. I doubt the Greeks would have the morale to even consider it.
    The brilliance of Odysseus lied in the fact that he could anticipate the thinking and thus the choice of the Trojans. And to be sure that they wouldn't be idiots and do the right thinking and thus choose to bring the horse into Troy, he left a Greek to help them do the thinking as foreseen.
    There lies the brilliance. 0:42 The words of the captured Greek were what Odysseus taught him. An acting performance with the highest stakes, life or death not only for him, but for so many others. Odysseus through this Greek, told them what they wanted to hear and what they would believe, to force them to make the move he wanted. And nailed it. That's where he played them all, King Priam, nobles, priests and elders. He allowed no rationale for the correct move, to burn the horse or not take it in. Even Cassandra who was a prophet and said that they should burn the horse, could not give a good reason.
    If they did they would insult the gods, and Odysseus told them that the Greeks left and lost the war exactly by insulting Goddess Athena by stealing the palladium. He told them something they knew that happened, but didnt know why it happened. Goddess Athena could be indeed angry for this, they didn't know that the opposite was true. A plague hit again on the greek camp by the angry gods. The Trojans knew that this had happened before by angered Apollo, so this would be very much likely to happen again, since an other God was angered. This would be a very good reason to make them leave. But how could the Trojans now since they seem to had won the war, burn the Horse and risk angering the Gods, when Greeks suffered so much from them, for very less? No reasonable man would do something like this.
    But taking the horse into Troy and breaking their own gates to take it in? That is some incredible reverse psychology. Odysseus made sure that the horse was taller than the gates, so the Trojans couldn't take it inside. And that is exactly what played with their vanity. And all this, in an "all-in" move? How could Odysseus even persuade the Greeks into a such "hail Mary" plan? So many things could have gone wrong e.g the greek left behind could betray them.
    But that is what went down in history as the "Trojan Horse" and Odysseus was the man behind it. The Greeks never scammed the Trojans, they did not offer peace or sign an armistice of sort. A random man left behind said random things. Neither Agamemnon, nor a hero (heroes were kings in smaller kingdom/city-states e.g Odysseus King of Ithaca) said that the war was over. Trojans assumed that it was

    2:23 Love it! Greek warriors are inside the horse they made so Trojans did not know.
    3:33 After They bring wooden horse is enter City of Trojan, the whole city celebrated the victory over the Greeks victory. At night Greek warriors is opened in the belly of the wooden horse dozens warriors began to emerge from that hiding place. They begin to stealthily to find a way to control the city gate to take out Trojan guards. Now Greek Soldiers see a signal fire from the top of the wall and begin attack to slaughter them all!
    4:31 Wow Achilles son led Greek Soldiers in the assault on the Royal Palace the last stronghold of Trojan resistance, The Trojan War was nearing its end.
    👏 Wow, that was quite impressive Greek warriors come idea to make wooden horse is a gift for City of Trojan. Once they inside wooden horse won't notice your in. They bring it to City of Trojan and wait at night then take out Trojan guards. Now all Soldiers are ready to fight to see a signal fire from the top of the wall. They'll led them victory!
