What were Achilles's weapons?
Achilles' primary weapon was the spear. He carried an unusual spear which Homer describes as too big for any other warrior to wield successfully. When Patroclus wears Achilles' armour, Homer makes a point of saying that he takes a different spear. He also uses a sword, but it secondary to the spear. He arms in a cuirass, greaves, bronze helmet and shield. His second set of armour (made by Hephaestus after Hektor has taken Achilles' first set from Patroclus' corpse) is more fantastic and beyond the technical skill of the Mycenaeans (who's age Homer describes), but is the same in terms of items.
What was Achilles special skills?
Achilles, a central character in Greek mythology, was renowned for his exceptional combat skills and unmatched strength on the battlefield. He was a master warrior, skilled in both hand-to-hand combat and the use of weapons, particularly the spear and sword. Additionally, his near invincibility, stemming from his mother Thetis dipping him into the River Styx, made him a formidable opponent, as he was only vulnerable at his heel. These attributes made Achilles a key figure in the Trojan War, celebrated for his bravery and prowess.

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.

What did Hector of Troy die of?
He was impaled with a spear then a sword by Achilles, who proceded to drag him around on his chariot. hector was actually only killed by Achilles' spear in the Iliad. Achilles would have actually had a much harder time in killing hector had pallas athene not come to Achilles' aid and returned his spear that he had just thrown at Hector, he did miss, Hector threw his spear and hit Achilles's shield but because it was made by Hephaustus, the god, it did not break through. Athene also brushed Hector's spear away from Achilles' on a previous encounter in the iliad. Athene saves Achilles from Hector and then Apollo saves hector. Whilst it is true to say that overall Achilles' is the better warrior, he is not massively better than Hector. If you are to study the Iliad as i have done. you will learn from Achilles himself that, in events before the Iliad, Hector stood up to him alone and they fought a duel in which neither could kill the other. Again we learn from the Greeks when hector challenges them to a duel that they all fear him including Achilles. not one of the Greeks dares stand up to him until they are rebuked by menelaus and a greek elder. but to really understand the greatest of hector we must see him outside of war, he is a reluctant soldier but defends Ilium because it is his duty, he is a loving father and caring father, he does not fight for his own glory or honour but for his men and those he loves. all other heroes in the iliad fight for themselves and their glory. they are often selfish and brutal. Achilles is the best example of this.
