Best Answer

The fate of Achilles' armor was the source of a feud between Odysseus and Ajax the Greater. They both gave speeches extolling their bravery to the Trojan prisoners and they, in the end, decided that Odysseus was more deserving. Ajax cursed Odysseus, which angered Athena, and he eventually killed himself in grief. Odysseus eventually gave the armor to Neoptolemus, Achilles' son.

What is the significance of the armor Hector wears while fighting Achilles?

The armor that Hector wore used to belong to Achilles. Achilles had refused to fight because of a dispute he had with Agamemnon so he let his friend Patroclus wear his special golden armor to raise the moral of the Greek troops. But Hector, thinking that the guy in the armor was Achilles, killed Patroclus and took the armor. So Achilles fights Hector for revenge for his friend and spots Hector since he's wearing the golden armor.
