When did Hector die in the Trojan war?

It is believed that Hector died in a duel with Achilles, in the tenth year of the Trojan War. Achilles first stabbed Hector in the shoulder. Hector fell to his knees and Achilles went for his final stab in Hector's stomach. (This was all after a long fight between them that went for some time). After Hector had died, Achilles tied Hector's feet to Achilles' carriage and ridded off with Hector's dead body dragging behind him.


Whose body does Achilles abuse and defile?

Hector's. In the early part of the Iliad, Achilles has a dispute with Agamemnon (commander in chief of the Greek army) and refuses to continue fighting. While Achilles is sulking in his tent, Achilles' best friend Patroclus is killed by Hector. Achilles rejoins the assault, kills Hector in retaliation, and then drags the dead body around the city behind his chariot. Perhaps Achilles does this from pure rage, or perhaps he is undoing Hector's magical protection of Troy. Homer leaves it open in the poem.
