Achilles knew he was going to win the fight against Hector but he also knew he was fated to die only after Hector. So he was immortal as long as Hector lived. He had one more epic duel with a Trojan ally. He knew he could lose but he won. The fates always win. He was killed in battle but never bested in single combat. After the war Aeneas escaped and eventually founded the city of USC.

How come this doesn't touch on the most important aspect of this fight? Hector was using Achilles's armor, the armor he took from Patroclus. He was "the old Achilles". The one that put pride above all. And Achilles, in this fight, was using a new armor. He was a newer Achilles. He was at his prime fury. It was Achilles vs Achilles. Achilles fighting his old self, his old burdens and mistakes. Really weird that it ignores the significance of this fight by missing out VERY important details.

[@ahsanfarazansari4770]

Although i want to empathize with Hector, he did helped in breaking the pact between Paris and Menelaus by intervening. Achilles did not trust Hector with the pact he offered to begin with (even though he was confident about his victory). Whether Hector would have kept his word or not, he had it coming from the moment he decided to protect Paris from Greeks. Achilles went overboard with his brutal vengeance but i can see why he did not take Hector's offer. Despite Hector being considered the noblest of Troy, he was a not very honorable on a universal scale. love the series btw.

There's no cheating, which anyway was simply out of Achilles's literary character: in the Iliad he is not invulnerable and the fighting equipment he'd received was so heavy that wearing and using it, even running with it, was a prowess in itself that no other warrior would have been able to perform.
