AI explanation
In Homer's account of the Trojan War, Hector, the great Trojan prince and defender of the city, was killed in single combat by Achilles. Achilles himself was later killed by an arrow (famously to his heel) shot by Paris, guided by Apollo. Menelaus, the Spartan king whose wife Helen sparked the war, survived and returned home, and Odysseus also survived, going on to his own decade-long journey home recounted in the Odyssey.
