he wore nothing he ran around nude

....

The only regular detail that we have of Achilles clothing is that Homer repeatedly tells us he was [euknemidos] :: 'wearing well made greaves (shin armour)'.

Contemporary Greeks listening to the story would have assumed that Achilles' outfit was more or less the same as a Greek hoplite (heavy infantryman). The hoplites were a major characteristic of the Greek armies throughout the classical period: since Achilles was a Greek warrior it is natural to assume he is a hoplite.

During the ILIAD , Achilles sent Patroclus out in his armor. Doing to this, people were static, the big guy was here. Later then Patroclus was caught, & when he got killed Hector ripped his armor off. Getting a gift, and putting the armor of Achilles' on.

Patroclus first wears Achilles's armor when Achilles refused to fight in order to rally the spirits of the Achaeans troops. But later, Hector wore Achilles's armor after he slayed Patroclus.

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.

Who did Odysseus have to pesruade to go to war?

Odysseus was charged by Agamemnon to convince Achilles to go to war. Achilles impersonated a woman at the behest of his mother, to whom it had been prophesied that Achilles would either live a long, uneventful life or a short, glorious one. Odysseus presented the women among whom Achilles was hid with a bounty of gifts, among which where placed a few weapons. After observing one of the women taking an unusual interest in the weapons, Odysseus later sounded a battle horn, fooling Achilles into clutching for a weapon and revealing him to be the heroic soldier.
