Why did king priam kiss the hand of Achilles?
Priam kissed Achilles hands to get him to give back Hectors body.
What warrior and prince fell at the hands of Achilles?
Hector, eldest son of Priam, was killed by Achilles in Troy. This was after Hector killed Achilles' friend, Patroclus, who had donned Achilles' armor against his wishes.
How did Patroclus die?
As Achilles, leader of the Myrmidon armies, continued to sulk over his mistreatment by Agamemnon by withdrawing his troops from the assault on Troy, the Achaean (Greek) army suffered severe setbacks at the hands of Trojan defenders under Hector. Patroclos, Achilles' best friend and servant, pleads with Achilles to allow him to wear Achilles' armour and lead the Myrmidons into battle, so as to inspire the Greeks and put fear into the enemy through this deception. Achilles agrees, but only on condition that Patroclos limit his efforts to staving off the attack and not to puruse the enemy any further. Patroclos battles well, and the Achaeans achieve some success, however Patroclos disregards his promise to Achilles and proceeds to give chase to the Trojans until Hector confronts Patroclos, and slays him in the belief that it is Achilles. This becomes the turning point in the epic, where Achilles sets aside his petty quarrel with Agamemnon and returns to battle to take vengeance upon Hector.
Which would you classify as a more sympathetic character Achilles or Priam?
I feel more sympathetic towards Priam, because he has to beg Achilles for his son's body back and kiss Achilles' hands, the hands by which the spear that killed his son was thrust into Hector's throat, killing him. He lowered down his standards by visiting Achilles, and showing him respect. He was ready to do anything to retrieve his son's body. Priam was a hurt father that lost his son. -Raneem Fares-

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.
Why is Zeus unable to save hector?
Athena argues that Zeus beloved Hectorâ??s time has come to an end. Zeus then places the fates of Achilles and Hector on scales to see how much time each one has left. Hectorâ??s fate sinks to the ground, sealing his fate to die at the hands of Achilles.
