What did Hector of Troy die of?
He was impaled with a spear then a sword by Achilles, who proceded to drag him around on his chariot. hector was actually only killed by Achilles' spear in the Iliad. Achilles would have actually had a much harder time in killing hector had pallas athene not come to Achilles' aid and returned his spear that he had just thrown at Hector, he did miss, Hector threw his spear and hit Achilles's shield but because it was made by Hephaustus, the god, it did not break through. Athene also brushed Hector's spear away from Achilles' on a previous encounter in the iliad. Athene saves Achilles from Hector and then Apollo saves hector. Whilst it is true to say that overall Achilles' is the better warrior, he is not massively better than Hector. If you are to study the Iliad as i have done. you will learn from Achilles himself that, in events before the Iliad, Hector stood up to him alone and they fought a duel in which neither could kill the other. Again we learn from the Greeks when hector challenges them to a duel that they all fear him including Achilles. not one of the Greeks dares stand up to him until they are rebuked by menelaus and a greek elder. but to really understand the greatest of hector we must see him outside of war, he is a reluctant soldier but defends Ilium because it is his duty, he is a loving father and caring father, he does not fight for his own glory or honour but for his men and those he loves. all other heroes in the iliad fight for themselves and their glory. they are often selfish and brutal. Achilles is the best example of this.
How does a hinged cam walker work and aid during Achilles tendon healing?
I have experience with the VACOcast Achilles boot (www.vacocast.com) which is hinged and can be fixed in 30 or 15 degrees of plantar flexion (toes pointing downward in order to reduce tension on the Achilles tendon). When the ankle is fixed in plantar flexion, also known as equinus, it allows the injury to heal without risk of rupture or re-rupture. As the tendon heals, the orthopedic surgeon will gradually reduce the amount of equinus until the ankle is at neutral, or 90 degrees. This safely increases the amount of tension and avoids unwanted shortening of the Achilles tendon.
How did the war in troy start?
In Greek legend, the Trojan War began when Paris, prince of Troy, stole away helen, wife of King Menelaus of Sparta. In Greek history, well, the Trojan war antedates written history, so the legend is our only guide. certainly there was a war; certainly Troy was destroyed. but for a woman? real life is rarely so romantic. The fact is almost certainly that Troy was positioned where its forces could restrict access for traders to the Black sea, and the Greeks wanted that access.

The prophet Calchas state who must fight for the Achaeans in order for Troy to be taken?
Some post-Homeric sources claim that in order to keep Achilles safe from the war, Thetis (or, in some versions, Peleus) hides the young man at the court of Lycomedes, king of Sykros. There, Achilles is disguised as a girl and lives among Lycomedes' daughters, perhaps under the name "Pyrrha" (the red-haired girl). With Lycomedes' daughter Deidamia (mythology), whom in the account of Statius he rapes, Achilles there fathers a son, Neoptolemus (also called Pyrrhus, after his father's possible alias). According to this story, Odysseus learns from the prophet Calchass that the Achaeans would be unable to capture Troy without Achilles' aid.

How did Queen Penthesilea die?
Penthesileia, queen of the Amazons, came to Priam's aid in the Trojan War in return for purification after she accidentally murdered her sister. Achilles cut her down on the battlefield, realizing too late that he loved her. Considering Achilles' temperament and already-proven disrespect for the dead, you can probably guess the rest.
What are the reasons for killing Hector in the book of Iliad?
In a nutshell, Achilles (or Achilleus) kills Hector because Hector kills Petroklos, Achilles' friend. As a result of Agamemnon dishonouring Achilles by expropriating his slave girl, Briseis, Achills laments to his mother, the nymph Thetis, of the indignity he had suffered at Agamemnon's hands. Thetis instructs her son to withdraw his aid from the Achaean forces, while she endeavours to call upon Zeus, who promises her a means by which Achilles' honour can be restored. Zeus choreographs the following days of the Trojan war to allow the Trojans to come to the brink of destroying the Achaean army, thus emphasizing their need of Achilles and his armies to succeed in the war. Agamemnon relents and sends envoys to plead with Achilles to return, but Achilles is adamant and continues to withhold his assistance. At the most dire moment, Patroclos, Achilles' dearest friend, assumes Achilles' armour and leads his armies into battle, momentarily driving off the Trojans, but ultimately leading to Patroclos' death by the great Trojan prince Hector's sword. Achilles returns to battle to avenge Patroclos' death. To allow Achilles to regain the honour he had lost at the beginning of the epic, Zeus allows Hector to be killed by Achilles, thus satisfying the promise Zeus had made to Thetis.
