Homer's Illiad

In Homer’s Illiad, a scene takes place in which the hero Hector is being chased around Troy by the warrior Achilles. Just prior to this event, a battle between the Greeks and Trojans resulted in the death of Patroclus, fueling Achilles anger and forcing him to re-enter the fight to avenge him by killing Hector. Once Hector sees anger Achilles, he runs away in fear. On Olympus, Zeus and the other gods decide the fate of the men and they alter the course of the fight. This results in Hector’s death and him being dragged away by Achilles chariot.
The fight between the two warriors is supposed to act as Achilles way to extract revenge for the death of his friend. It is also used as a device to portray glory’s role as Achilles progresses towards
