I mean, see the Trojan War. It's somewhat plausible that such a thing happened, but there probably wasn't a wooden horse, and no-one got turned into a pig. Things get embellished, and weaving in the mystical was pretty standard.

Curious where "no-one turned into a pig" came from? That is an episode from the Odyssey: Circe turned some of Ulysse's companions to pigs. But not the Iliad (Trojan War is in the Iliad). Is the turning-into-pigs a memory from a movie, perhaps a mash-up of the Iliad and Odyssey?

The Odyssey is about Odysseus/Ulysses returning from the Trojan War, so I think it's fair to count it as part of the general Trojan War mythos :)
