The Greeks, after two attempts on Troy, one in Year 1 of the looting expedition to Asia Minor (failed), the second (successful) one in year 10, could have given up and gone home with the loot and slaves they had pillaged around the Aegean coast. However the Horse plot gave them one last shot.

The Greeks could have accepted the return of Helen offered by Troy, but they insisted they wanted the treasure which Helen had stolen from Sparta when she ran off with Paris (Helen was relatively unimportant - it was the money which really mattered) , so the negotiated end failed.
