Yeah, that's them! The horse was hollow on the inside, and all the Greek soldiers hid inside and waited for the Trojans to take it inside the walls of their city. Then once everyone was asleep, they snuck out and took them all by surprise and kicked their asses.

There's a saying that goes with it, too: "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts". So, uh, if Percy tries to give you anything ... [ha ha?]
