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.

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.
