====Achilles at Troy====

Achilles soon became a crucial part of the Achaean army during Troy's siege in an effort to retrieve Helen of Troy. The young hero became one of the expedition’s most feared fighters. Such was his prestige that, on one occasion, he persuaded the Greeks to stay and continue the siege after a defeat. In the Iliad, he is shown as the favorite of the Goddess Artemis. Homer portrays him as being quick to anger and, at times lacking in self-control, and this was to have tragic consequences.<ref>Homer, The Iliad (London, Penguin, 2000), p 117</ref>

After Patroclus's death, Achilles forms an intense friendship with Antilochus, the son of King Nestor. Memnon, the King of Ethiopia and son of the Goddess Eos, join the Trojans. This great African hero makes an immediate impact and causes panic in the ranks of the Achaeans. During this, he kills Antilochus, and this enrages Achilles. In scenes reminiscent of the earlier duel with Hector, Achilles and Memnon fight a duel, which ended in Memnon's death.<ref> Clark, M. E., & Coulson, W. D. (1978). Memnon and Sarpedon.

====The Death of the hero and its aftermath====

In the Iliad, Hector, just before he dies, predicted the death of Achilles. He told his killer that he would be killed by Paris's arrow, the man who had kidnapped Helen of Troy. According to the oldest variant of the death of Achilles, he was scaling the gates of Troy when Paris shot an arrow at him that hit his heel. This was his most vulnerable part, and the hero died of his wound, and from this, we get the term ‘Achilles Heel.’<ref>Burgess, Jonathan. "Achilles' heel: the death of Achilles in ancient myth." Classical Antiquity 14, no. 2 (1995): 217-244</ref> He was buried with great pomp on the Hellespont, and a daughter of the King of Troy was sacrificed at his funeral.
