Achilles
Achilles, the peerless hero of Homer’s Iliad, occupies a central place in Greek myth and the broader imagination of the ancient world. Renowned for unmatched skill in battle and remembered for the fateful vulnerability of his “heel,” he personifies themes of honor, wrath, destiny, and mortality.
Within the saga of the Trojan War, Achilles stands as the exemplar of martial excellence, often hailed as the “best of the Achaeans.” Leading the Myrmidons, he became a decisive force in the Greek campaign, inspiring allies and striking fear into enemies. His prowess on the battlefield was not only a matter of strength and speed; it was also a product of disciplined skill, strategic insight, and a reputation that preceded him into every conflict. In Homer’s narrative, Achilles’ presence, absence, and return dramatically shape the course of events, underscoring how a single hero could sway an entire war.
