In book 4 of The Odyssey, the ways in which Odysseus entered Troy are discussed. The one that stood out to me was the wood horse that he left outside the gates. It is probably one of the smartest acts of war i have heard of so far.
Some people might believe that using the wood horse was cheating, but i don't think there is really a way to cheat in war. There is no rules or regulations decided upon so you can't really break a rule or cheat. I think that just because Odysseus was smart and had an idea that worked doesn't mean he cheated. It might of given him the upper-hand but if the Trojans had inspected the horse more carefully it might not have been as big of a threat.

You make a great point about the responsibility the Trojans had in inspecting the horse (or not inspecting it as the case may be!).
