Who attempts to break up the quarrel between Achilles and Agamemnon?
athena did give him back his spear when he threw it at hector who successfully dodged it. but the main help athena gave him was when hector, fearful of achilles's rage, fleed from achilles and ran around troy's wall three times. when they were running around troy for the 4th time, athena persuaded hector to stop the chase and face achilles in war
How does Achilles finally kill Hector?
There was a duel between Hector and Achilles , and Achilles was successful in killing Hector late in the day. it wasnt really a duel, it was an unfair fight, athene helped Achilles overcome hector. Achilles was also wearing god's amour and was fed on ambrosia, Achilles had refused to eat and both Odysseus and Zeus realised that a starved Achilles would be no match for a well fed hector. Achilles killed hector by thrusting his spear into his neck, the only vulnerable spot on hector's body when he was wearing Achilles' armour. both heroes exchanged spear throws, Achilles missed but athene returned his spear, hector did not miss and hit Achilles' shield, however he was tricked by athene who disguised herself as hector's brother deiphoubus holdind another spear for him and then abandoned him. hector then charges Achilles, knowing he is going to die, with his sword and he is likened to a high flying eagle, noble and strong swooping down upon Achilles who is likened to a timid hare. Achilles with athene's help slays his enemy and then proceeds to maltreat hector, this act was deemed disgusting and wrong in homeric times and still today. Zeus grows enfuriated by this as hector was his favourite mortal, aswell as Apollo's and perhaps even ares. Achilles is not the true hero of the iliad and in my view is not even a hero at all. homer intends us to feel great pathos, sympathy, for hector the greatest hero for so many more reasons than just a talented warrior. he is the most noble and brave character in Homer's Iliad.
What does achillies do with hectors body?
Achilles drags Hector's body to show off that he killed him, as an act of revenge and to make himself feel better about the death of Patroclus, but the God's restored Hector's body, which infuriated Achilles even more. He later on realizes that revenge and violence is not the answer.
What does Achilles do with hector after he kills him?
Achilles cuts holes in Hector's heels, laces a girdle Ajax gave him through them and fastens Hector's body to his chariot. He drives around the city and all through the Greek camp with Hector in tow. For twelve days he abuses Hector's body, but Aphrodite and Apollo keep the body from being damaged. Eventually the gods intervene and Thetis asks her son to allow Priam to retrieve his son's body. Priam is protected by Hermes as he enters the Greek camp and Achilles, moved by a father's devotion, allows Hector to return to Priam and offers a truce of twelve days for Hector's funeral. This is the end of the Iliad.
In two extended similes, Hector and Achilles are compared to animals. Find these epic similes (Homeric similes). What comparisons are made in each simile?
The simile that best describes their characteristics begins in line 194 until line 198. Homer compares them to stallions as Achilles chases Hector around the city of Priam three times before Hector encounters Deiphobus, Hector’s brother, who Athena takes form of to deceive him
Why did Achilles drag Hector's body around the city three times?
I believe it has to do with the three people he cared the most, these being Andromache his wife, his Father Priam and his mother... One round per person, I remember the two women begging Priam to stop Achilles' madness and him being the last one to see the horrific scene... This is just my interpretation tho
What is Achilles' role in the Illiad?
Achilles plays a great role in the Trojan war.When Agamemnon steals the beautiful captive Briseis away from Achilles,Achilles refuses to take part in the war,where after the Greeks suffer one loss after another.But when his best friend Patroclus is killed by Trojan Hector,Achilles emerges vengeful.Thetis has an armor forged for Achilles by the great god Hephaestus.Achilles kills Hector and a great number of other Trojans.Ajax is considered to be the bravest hero,second only to Achilles.In the Trojan war he single-handedly turns back a Trojan counterattack that threatens to set the fleet on fire.ajax and diomedes are considered the second best Greeks next to Achilles, however both of these heroes are more noble, brave and respectful than Achilles. ajax fights hector to duel early in the iliad, and through out the book both heroes try to kill each, both are unsuccesful, though on occassions both heroes get the upper hand on one another, hector forces ajax to retreat several times and also breaks ajax's spear. however ajax also forces hector to retreat on one occasion when he throws a huge boulder at hector. diomedes is also a great fighter but not as good in my opinion as ajax or hector, he always needs the help of odyesseus and like wise odyesseus always needs diomedes's help. ajax and hector fight alone, relying on their own skill. Achilles i would like to point out is not brave, he doesnt fight for most of the iliad, and has no fear of death, that by definition does not define a hero, he doesnt care about anyone or anything expect his feelings and perhaps patroclus.

Who would win in a one on one battle Achilles or Leonides?
Achilles would win because he was a greater warrior. Although Spartans were lifetime warriors unlike the other Greek tribes, and thus much more effective in combat, according to sources, Achilles' combat skill was second to none. He was exceptional. In addition, Achiles was a half-god (his mother was a goddess and his father was a mortal). From Atlantis01: Achilles was also completely invulnerable - that is except for his heel - as he was dipped in the river styx as a child. even though The spartan armour and weaponry was much better thatn the panoplia that Achilles would have had given him a distinct advantage...if Achilles wasn't half god. adding to that, the Leonidas we all know and love was about 60 years old at Themopylae, battle scarred and old, he would prove little match for young and god-like Achilles. From soccerbeast010: Also Achilles was second only to Hector who was the greatest fighter in the world. The thing about Achilles being invulnerable --- that comes from a minor poem by Statius not from Homer. In fact if you read the Illiad, you will see that Achilles is wounded four times. In fact Achilles was warned in a prophesy that he would be killed at Troy and he did everything he could to get out of going.(initially) And why would he wear armour if he war invulnerable? I think it detracts a bit from the story to make him death-proof. And Achilles killed Hector in a one on one totally fair fight. So Hector wasn't the greatest. In fact Ajax the greater went toe to toe with Hector three time and the fights were all draws. But as for Achilles vs Leonides. Achilles would definitely win.
How much is really true in the story of Achilles in the movie Troy?
Some is true...there are many inaccuracies, but they got some right.Achilles fought for the Greeks, but stopped because he was angry with Menelaus for taking away his slave girl, Briseus. His cousin/boy he rescued (two different stories) Patroclus fought in Achilles' armor and was killed by Hector. Achilles was angry, so he began to fight again. He killed Hector, dragging him around the walls of Troy 7 times. He later gave Hector's body back to his father, Priam. Achilles was killed by Paris during the sack of Troy. Paris shot him in the right heel, his only weak spot.There are many difference in the movie from the actual story written by Homer. Let me point out some of thoseHelen was brought to Troy without the knowledge of Hector.Achilles was a king . The King of Myrmidons.Agamemnon was not the supreme emperor then.Achilles never entered into the walls of troy.After the death of Achilles his son Neoptolemus came to the arena for the fight.Paris was killed before the Greeks entered the wall.Menelaus was never killed from troy.
