Troy: The great debate

Your're not a true man if you think it's Achilles.
Hector was a good man with no blessing and he died a true man's death.
Achilles was on easy mode his whole and still struggled against Hector. And Achilles died like a bitch.

...but Paris killed Achilles.

Akilles had to choose between happy family life or eternal glory and a violent death.

Hektor got to have both. Less glory than Akilles it's true but he is still remembered forever.

>Hector
>Killed by Achilles

>Achilles
>Killed by Legolas

lmao at least Hector died against someone strong

>struggled
He played with him and wasn't even breathing heavily when he finally did him in. Even in the book, he shits all over him, then drags him around. It took a few days before Hector even came out to face him lmao.

Anyone saying Achilles is dumb or hasn't read the Iliad. Fucking posers, get Veeky Forums and then come back.

>Achilles. You know, because he won.
Someone didn't read the sequel.

Well it's correct, Hector died running for his life

Hector was more favored by the gods but Achilles was practically invincible thanks to his mom (a nymph of some sort).
Paris only killed him by sheer luck/divine intervention.

It's been over a decade since I read it, but as I recall, the gods literally helped Achilles win their fight with illusions or some shit. Therefore he was more blessed by the gods.

Achilles

>Enjoyed war, rape, blasphemy and murder
>Only had sex when he raped some hoe
>roided up by the gods Chad mode
>Was played by the same guy who played as a filthy gypsy and a vegan extremist psycho
>Got killed by the most beta male in history with an arrow to the ankle

Hector lost, but he was still the one everyone can look up to as an example

Brehs... I was talking about aesthetics, this is Veeky Forums not /tv/

Can you imagine the ball busting Achilles received upon reaching the afterlife?
"HOLY SHIT YOU DIED TO MY PUSSY BROTHER?"
-Hector to Achilles, upon reaching the gates of Hades

>Iliad
>/tv/
>not Veeky Forums

Illiterate scum, kill yourself before you get to breed

Fuck off we're discussing ancient literature.
This holy shit. Even if you were mentioning the movie, the primary thing people are discussing is the text.

>tfw 17 males on my father's side of the family, him and my grandpa included have had their Achilles' Tendons ripped apart while playing badminton
>tfw staying away from a mundane sport out of fear of the same happening to me
>tfw modern day Achilles bodywise

Lmao they were 5 injuries deep and 12 more of your family members kept running to the badminton court like lemmings.

Retardation is heritable user

>be achilles
>biggest weakness is my foot
>shot in the foot by a fag
>die
>dyel fag founds rome
>his descendents rule my country for the next thousand years

Lurk more.

Aeneas was more like Hector than Paris.

This.
These 1000 arches should have just killed him when he was infront of their walls screaming for hector like a mad man.

This faggot raids a city, trying to conquer it and take it from their rightful owners, destroying families and initiating war and then goes all moral about hector killing his faggot cousin.
I mean, cmon.

>while playing badminton
wow. to think you ruined your body for one of the gayest non-sports out there
your gene pool is obviously trash

You literally have a bullet point under Achilles that says blessed by the gods

>Was played by the same guy who played as Hulk
In the worst hulk movie

>was a mercenary
He was lord of the myrmidons, and his father was a king. Had Achilles not been an illegitimate son (due to his mother being a naiad), he would've been a prince too.

>Got killed by the most beta male in history with an arrow to the ankle
He was sneak attacked by that faggot Paris. Even the 300 Spartans fell thanks to sneaky bullshit
