Agamemnon, the captain of the Greeks.
The second line of the Iliad describes Achilles' rage as [oulomene]: 'destructive'. The first word of the Iliad is [menin] :: 'rage'. In a sense, the whole poem is about rage.
In Homer's "Iliad," the goddess Athena intervenes as a mediator in the dispute between Achilles and Agamemnon. She is sent by Zeus to calm Achilles' anger and prevent him from drawing his sword against Agamemnon. Athena appeals to Achilles' sense of honor and wisdom, urging him to restrain himself and not let his rage lead to further conflict. Her intervention helps to de-escalate the situation, allowing for dialogue instead of violence.
In Homer's "Iliad," Hermes advises Priam to approach Achilles humbly and plead for the return of his son Hector's body. He emphasizes the importance of appealing to Achilles' sense of compassion and honor, urging Priam to acknowledge Achilles' grief and share in the sorrow of loss. Hermes reassures Priam by guiding him safely through the Greek camp and reminding him that even great warriors can be moved by the pain of others.
Achilles reacts to Hector's plea for mercy with contempt and anger. He refuses to spare Hector's life and instead seeks revenge for the death of his beloved friend Patroclus, whom Hector killed. Achilles' desire for vengeance overrides any sense of honor or compassion, illustrating his deep emotional turmoil and commitment to avenging his loss. Ultimately, he kills Hector and desecrates his body, showcasing the intense rage that drives him.

Achilles killed Hector mainly to avenge the death of his friend, Patrokolos. Also, it made sense for him to kill Hector because they both were the best fighters on their respective sides. If Achilles killed Hector, he would gain a lot of honor.

Paris was indicative of how Greeks viewed people from other cultures. He was cowardly, dishonorable (he was a thief in the sense that he "stole" Helen) and relied on others to do his fighting for him. And even though he shot the arrow that felled Achilles, the arrow was guided by Apollo. Even that is an indication of his cowardice (comparing him to Hector, who at least faced Achilles in combat).
They both have heroic ideals, both are stubborn in the sense that they are willing to die for what they believe in. They both stray from the norms of society
The question doesn't make sense because it's stating the obvious. The term 'Achilles' heel' refers to a person in Greek Mythology who was the son of an immortal nymph who tried to make him immortal by dipping him in the river Styx. She forgot to wet the heel she held him by, thus making him immortal, all but his heel. So when we refer to someone's 'Achilles' heel' we are referring to their weak spot. So the question doesn't make sense because one's 'Achilles' heel' is one's only weakness so it's an obvious question.
'Oro' doesn't mean anything. It displays a sense of confusion.

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.
