first he was going to stand up to Achilles, then he got scared and started running aroung the city (Troy). Athena tricked him, so he went to face Achilles. he then begged Achilles to let his people have his (Hector's) body if he died. Achilles refused. so then they fought, but it was pretty short, Achilles pretty much just killed him. Then all the Acheans came to stab Hector...


Who was Prince Hector of Troys cousin?

Patricolus. What happened was, Achilles didn't want to fight. Well, Patricolus had a bright idea that he could take Achilles' battle armor, wear it, pretend to be Achilles, and lead the Greek troups into battle. Well Hector was the best warrior the Trojans had. So he went out and battled Patricolus, thinking he was Achilles. When he killed Patricolus, he realized that it wasn't Achilles. Somehow, someone from the Greek side figured it out and went and told Achilles. Patricolus was like Achilles' best friend, so Achilles got really mad. He went to the wall surrounding Troy, and told Hector to come out and fight. Hector came out even though everyone told him not too. Achilles killed him (easily, for he had bathed in the River Styx and could not be harmed except for his heel) then tied Hector's body to his chariot. He then dragged Hector's body around the city walls for 3 days straight. This made the people of Troy really mad, so someone was shooting bows and arrows at him. Well, one of them made a bad shot and hit Achilles in the heel. Achilles then died and later, Odysseus became the hero of the Trojan War.


What is the name of the war between the Mycenaens and the people of troy?

This war was, I think, called the Trojan war. The one where the 'offering to Athene' - The Trojan horse - was used to massacre the Trojans, and end the war. Agamemnon, The Mycenaean king, and Meleneaus, (I think that's how it's spelt,) the Spartan king, went to war because Helen of Sparta went to Troy with Paris, (Prince of Troy,) and left Meleneaus.

How old was Perseus?

It is believed that Perseus was at least 27 years old when she fell in love with the Greek God, Achilles when she got captured and taken to the Greek camp. Perseus got rescued by her cousin, the king of Troy, and taken back with him. When the invasion happened, Achilles was looking for her and she was being held by the King of Greece. She then plunged a knife into his neck thus killing him. When Achilles was there comforting her, Paris saw them and thought Achilles was hurting his cousin, and reached for his arrows. Perseus saw him and screamed, "No! Don't!" but it was too late. The arrow plunged into Achilles' heel, causing him a shock of pain. He was shot three more times in the stomach until he finally went down. Perseus was devastated, but left with Paris. People are saying that Perseus never loved anyone like she loved Achilles, and I, for one, believe that, too. *PLEASE NOTE: I am 11 years old, and I know all this stuff! Mostly from watching 'Troy' over, and over again! :)


Did Hector die?

Achilles killed Hector. Hector killed Achilles best friend Patroclus so he went insane. He caught up to Hector even with Apollo's help and once he killed Hector, Achilles attached him by his achilles heel and dragged him around. This is ironic because later Paris shoots Achilles in the Achilles heel and he is vulnerable there by not being dumped into the river styx.


What city was Helen kidnapped from?

She was Helen of Troy. So it was Troy. __ Helen was NOT from Troy originally. She was kidnapped from Sparta, her husband Menelaus was the king of Sparta. Paris of Troy either kidnapped her, or she fell in love with him and ran away with him (depending on which story you read) and they went to Troy.


What was a quest that Achilles went on?
