Hector doesn't heed King Priam's words. He felt a sense of duty to protect his home and his family. When the Greeks reach the walls of Troy, Hector goes into battle with Achilles--knowing that his wrath could not be subsided by words of kindness and forgiveness. Because he lead the Trojans, Achilles felt that it was his fault that the Greeks prematurely won the war.

How does Achilles kill hector in the Iliad?
Achilles fought hector out side of the gates of Troy. Both talked about what would happen if either of them killed the other. Achilles drew first blood by throwing his spear at hector. Achilles misses hector and hector throws his spear at Achilles and he blocks the spear with his shield. This is what myth tells us Athena goddess of wisdom takes Achilles spear and throws it back to Achilles and hector does not see this. But hector had no reserved spear but thinks his one of his brothers is by his side. Athena posses as one of hectors brothers and tells hector that he will help hector fight Achilles. Hector is tricked by Athena and then has no choice. Hector charges for Achilles and Achilles does the same. Achilles has a longer weapon and so he thrashes his spear into hectors windpipe. Hector still has some few moments left and then ask Achilles to give his body back to his loved ones at troy so he may be properly buried. Achilles refuses and hectors last words is the Paris t who was the one who started the entire war will kill Achilles at the gates of troy where hector is being killed now. In all honest opinion I think that Achilles didn't have help from a goddess and that he had a javelin and a spear but hector only had a javelin and did not see Achilles spear. The he rest of the fight I think happened.

As well as a disturbed, human being.Where in The Movie Troy, Achilles was believed to show "Human like emotions", As well as being a godlike creature who is Immortal.These Differences are shown in the scene in both the poem and the movie, where Priam King of Troy, goes to Achilles at the Greek WAR camp as for Prince Hectors Dead Body back.In the Iliad- Achilles says, that Hectors Body is for the dogs and the bird, to feed on. Where he shows NO emotion.

However, He wasn't only Achilles's cousin, he was also Achilles's Lover!
Was Achilles stronger then Hector?
The easiest answer would be that Hercules was the strongest individual, Achilles was the most skilled fighter, and that Alexander the Great was the greatest general. Unfortunately, this answer is far from complete. The question is essentially impossible to answer. In order to answer the question in any meaningful way the sources must be considered, and the sources for these three individuals is woefully inadequate. Hercules is a purely mythological figure, and (unless one accepts Euhemerus' theory that mythological figures are based on vaguely remembered kings and heroes of the past) has no historical basis. To try to compare a mythological figure to a Alexander the Great, a historical figure, is nonsense. Achilles is more complicated than Hercules; he may be a mix of myth and legend. Although most of what we know about him is undoubtedly fiction, such as the suggestion that he is the son of Thetis, a nymph. On the other hand, recent archaeological finds in Asia minor have strongly suggested that the siege of Troy actually did occur in the far past (perhaps the 11th century B.C.). Even Alexander is problematic. Despite being a historical figure, we have no surviving firsthand accounts from his life. Even during his own life he was heavily mythologized, and as a result it is very difficult to separate fact from fiction in the surviving accounts we have of his life. To sum it up, it has to be Hercules, the son of Zeus. He killed like eight unkillable monsters, and he once held the weight of the entire sky on his solders, and he eventually became a legitimate god. Achilles is skilled and all, but he was killed by an arrow. And while Alexander might be arguably the greatest tactician to have ever lived, and one of the most courageous to boot, he was still just a man.

What is the difference between the contents of the story of The Iliad and The Odyssey?
The Iliad is a story about something that happened during the Trojan War. It takes place at the beginning of the tenth year of the war. It tells how the Greek hero Achilles became angry at the Greek commander and withdrew from the fighting. How his friend Patroclus, trying to take his place, was killed in battle by the Trojan hero Hector. Achilles, even more enraged, returns to battle and kills Hector but refuses to return his body for proper burial, instead dragging it around behind his chariot for days. Eventually Hector's father, King Priam, goes pesonally to Achilles to beg for his son's body. Achilles relents and returns it. The Odyssey on the other hand takes place after the Trojan War. It tells of the adventures of the Greek Hero Odysseus in trying to get home after the war and how, after many wanderings and adventures he has to fight to regain his kingdom which had only been barely preserved for him by the pluck and courage of his faithful wife.
