The Achaeans, a coalition of Greek city-states, besieged Troy for ten years during the Trojan War, which was sparked by the abduction of Helen by Paris of Troy. They employed various strategies, including direct assaults and the infamous use of the Trojan Horse, a cunning ruse that led to their victory. Ultimately, they breached the city's walls, sacked Troy, and enslaved its inhabitants, marking the end of the war. The conflict is famously depicted in Homer's "Iliad" and other ancient texts.
