Best Answer

One account of Achilles' death involves the deception of Achille's lover, Polyxema, as she lures Achilles to a secret rendez-vous as a ruse to set him up for a fatal ambush by the Trojan prince Paris. The poisoned arrow of Paris is said to have been guided by Apollo to strike Achilles' vulnerable heel, the only part of his body capable of injury.

He died in the battle of Troy (Trojans vs. the Greeks). he fought for the Greeks and died by an arrow that penetrated his heel (the Achilles. This is because the legend said that his mother dipped him in the river Styx, which made him immortal, but she held his heel, and that was his only mortal spot.

Who was in Trojan war?

Many people were in the Trojan war. For starters all of Greek and Troy, then there was King Priam, he was the King of Troy and father of Prince Hector and Prince Paris. Then there was King Agamemnon, he ruled all of Greece; he also had his brother who was King Menelaus who married Queen Helen. In the war Helen plays a huge role for she leaves with Prince Paris and then Menelaus and Agamemnon send a thousand ships to bring her back. Then Archilles comes in, he's know as an unbelievable figher. He fights for the Greeks for fame and just to be remembered in history. Thetis is Archilles mother, Patroclus is Archilles cousin. Prince Hector was the heir to the throne of Troy. He was said to be the greatest warrior despite Archilles being a demi-god or whatever. Hector was maried to Andromache and they had a son. Of course later in the movie Hector is killed by Archilles while Archilles is enraged with the death of his cousin Patroclus who was killed by Hector. Although Hector thought that Patroclus was Archilles. Homer you could say was a huge part of the Trojan war. Homer wrote the 'Illiad' and the 'Odyssey.' These were two epic poems that he wrote about the Trojan war. Another character I just remembered was Odysseus, Odysseus was like the only person outside Archilles mother and cousin that could get through to Archilles. Another person that caught my attention in the Trojan war was Briseis. In the movie she was the lover of Archilles after being captured by the Greeks and she was given to him. However I don't really know if that really happend in reality. I know for a fact she was captured by the Greeks, and that she was given to Archilles I'm not sure about her actual role in Archilles love life. Anyway those are the people off the top of my head. I hope this answers your question.
