“Imagine a king who fights his own battles. Wouldn't that be a sight” This is a quote from the movie troy. This really does explain him pretty well. Achilles who was technically a mortal man but his mother held him by the achilles which is the achilles tendon, who was brave and handsome man who fought in the trojan war and fought vigorously till the very end.

In the quizlafactions to to be a greek hero you had to be born of royalty and also have to be noble and have one vitial weak spot and in this case with achilles it was his achilles. He was also noble well become a general is not easy and he did it so easy and well that is very
