it means that although Achilles is not present, his presence is still felt through his influence on those who are. Achilles makes this statement to Hector after mortally wounding him to avenge his friend, Patroclus, whom Hector had killed while Patroclus wore Achilles armor. Achilles was not present in battle when Hector killed his friend, yet Achilles influenced the battle and Hector should have known that Achilles would avenge the act and kill Hector. Save

He acted like a child. After hearing that his concubine, Chryseis, needed to be returned to her father (the priest of Apollo) Agamemnon's basic response was that if he had to suffer the loss of a concubine, that Achilles should lose his too. When Achilles became irate over this loss and refused to continue fighting, Agamemnon showed him the door claiming that he could still win without Achilles. Only the death of Achilles's close friend Patroklos inspired Achilles to fight for the Greeks again.

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.
Operation after Achilles Yes or No Ive ruptured my Achilles ankle I opted not to have operation Im 34 and still enjoy sports and the gym how can i prevent rerupture and still live a normal life?
Always remember to gently stretch the wound site specifically before you exercise. Keep it warm when exerting it. Invest in a good quality ankle support. I had a complete tear of my Achilles three years ago, surgery was not optional, and it is fully healed today (absolutely not a factor when I exercise today, not even something I think about anymore). If I were weighing "special care of a damaged Achilles for years and years" versus "surgery to repair the Achilles", I vote for the surgery.
