Yes he does. Iliad, book 7, describes their single combat in which Hector is almost defeated but the duel is interrupted by a "herald of Zeus". Interestingly enough, to end their aborted duel they exchange weapons as gifts, Hector receives Ajax's war-belt and Ajax receives Hector's sword. Achilles lashes Hector's body to his chariot with the war-belt as he drags his corpse around the walls of Troy. Ajax, ashamed at losing the arms of Achilles, commits suicide with Hector's sword.
