Was hector a real person

Answer 1

Some argue and say there is evidence that Hector actually lived and was a great warrior in the Trojan Wars, which is likely but he was probably wasn't the amazing warrior as he is depicted, He was more than likely just a stand out soldier in the Trojan Army. Its mostly believed that Hector was a mythical character depicted as the greatest warrior in Troy. The myth claims he was slain by Achilles, and his lifeless body was dragged from the walls of Troy to the Greek lines. His brother Paris killed Achilles in the siege of Troy by shooting Achilles in the only vulnerable place on his body, the heel, that's where the term Achilles Heel stems from, meaning a persons special weakness.
