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.
Who argued over a slave girl in The Iliad?
Agamemnon and Achilles argued over Briseis, who was Achilles's prize. Agamemnon had to give back his prize, Chryseis, because the Chryseis's father was a priest of Apollo and keeping her is making Apollo mad. In return, Agamemnon decided to take Briseis from Achilles. This caused Achilles to stop fighting in the Trojan War and eventually the death of Patrokolos.
