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.

What was the horror at the Xanthus river?
In Book 21 of The Illiad Achilles singlehandedly splits the Trojan army, driving half back into the city and half into the river where he begins hacking them to pieces with no mercy. The river god Xanthus complains to Achilles that all the corpses are impeding the flow of the water and asks him to stop killing the Trjans. Achilles agrees, but then says he first has to kill the remaining Trojans. At this point Xanthus attacks Achilles, throwing the corpses of the dead out of the river and sending large waves to drown him. Fearing he'll die without honor, drowned like a child, Achilles prays to Zeus for assistance. Athena and Poseidon hear and promise Achilles he won't be killed and tell him to kill the Trojans and Hector. Athena gives Achilles speed so he can outrun the waves and Hera calls on Hephaestus, the god of fire, to fight Xanthus. Hephaestus sets the corpses on fire and all the plants near the river are burned as well, the river boils and all the animals in it die, finally Xanthus concedes the battle.
Who argued over a slave girl in The Iliad?
Agamemnon and Achilles argued over Briseis, who was Achilles's prize. Agamemnon had to give back his prize, Chryseis, because the Chryseis's father was a priest of Apollo and keeping her is making Apollo mad. In return, Agamemnon decided to take Briseis from Achilles. This caused Achilles to stop fighting in the Trojan War and eventually the death of Patrokolos.

It appears that the question should be "what happens when Priam confronts Achilles?" Priam was a man of gentleness and piety. In his old age he was looked upon as a man of sorrows because of the misfortunes that befell his city and his family for which he was powerless to avert disaster. He was looked upon then as worthy of pity and honor. When he went to see Achilles to ransom the body of Hector Achilles was moved to pity him and granted his request.
