Solution
- The Trojans resumed their normal fighting routine. They were delighted and startled by what they saw on the beach outside the walls.
- The Greeks believed the long siege was finally over after their tents were burned and the shore was deserted. They were certain that the Greeks had left.
- They were relieved to be free to roam wherever they liked. That was the basis for the Trojans' joy and celebration.
