The famous Greek general associated with the fall of Troy is Odysseus, depicted in Homer's epic poems "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey." It was Odysseus' cunning idea to construct the Wooden Horse, a deceptive ploy that led to the downfall of Troy. After a protracted ten-year siege, Greek forces, hidden within the horse, emerged at night, infiltrating the city and ultimately leading it to destruction. Odysseus' intelligence and strategic thinking exemplified the virtues celebrated in Greek heroic literature, transforming him into a legendary figure in classical mythology.
