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.

∙ 13y agoAchilles dragged the body of Hector around Troy from behind a chariot for nine days in succession, in revenge for the killing of Patroclus. After a personal appeal from Hector's father, king Priam, Achilles agreed to give him Hector's body, so that it could undergo the necessary funeral rites.

∙ 12y agoAchilles cuts two slits in Hector's heels and puts the girdle (belt) that Ajax gave him through the slits and binds Hector to his chariot. He drags the body all the way back to the Greek camp and mistreats the body for 12 days. The body is preserved, though, by the gods, who mourn the loss of the Trojan hero, but understand Achilles' grief.
After 12 days, Hermes guides Priam unseen to Achilles' tent where the old king begs for the return of his sons body. Achilles agrees, promising a truce for 12 days while the Trojans mourn.

Hector's. In the early part of the Iliad, Achilles has a dispute with Agamemnon (commander in chief of the Greek army) and refuses to continue fighting.

Achilles rejoins the assault, kills Hector in retaliation, and then drags the dead body around the city behind his chariot. Perhaps Achilles does this from pure rage, or perhaps he is undoing Hector's magical protection of Troy. Homer leaves it open in the poem.
Why did Achilles want to kill hector?
Hector had killed Achilles' friend Patroclus.
