Document Summary
Achilles is back, fully, excessively: apollo tricks achilles. He is actually a god haha: hector"s parents plead with him to enter troy. Because the king priam opened the doors for the refugees: hector"s soliloquy. Glory vs. shame: hector lives by the heroic code, and chooses to stay and die. Swift-footed achilles throughout the whole poem is foreshadowing this moment at the end of the poem: images of runners and horses, connected with an epithet. Gods as spectators (division between mortal and immortal) Hector moves down symbolizing his move to the underworld: athena helps achilles. Disguised as deiphobus: hector"s courage in achilles" armour, achilles nd a weak spot, hector"s soul ees. Hector"s prophesies achilles" death (same as hector"s)\ Drag hector by his ankles back to his greek camp: andromache doesn"t know yet that hector has died. Prepares his bath like a regular day.
