In Homer's epic, the Iliad, the legendary, there are no two characters so similar and at the same time so different as the Greek warrior, Achilles, and the prince of Troy , Hector. Achilles is the strongest fighter on the Greek side and Hector is the strongest Trojan. Both are put into the hero form that their respective societies have put them in; However; it is clear that they are both extremely complex characters with different roles within their society and with their families, and with the gods. In Greek society, Achilles plays the role of the aggressive soldier. From the first lines of the epic, we are introduced to the murderous rage of Achilles: "Anger - Goddess, sing the rage of Achilles, son of Peleus, murderer, condemned, who cost the Achaeans countless losses, cast down into the House of Death." many robust souls, souls of great fighters, but they transformed their bodies into carrion, feasts for dogs and birds” (Book 1, lines 1-5).

Although they are seen as heroic and powerful, their weaknesses and internal conflicts are unmistakable. Their differences are larger and more significant than their similarities, and thinking of them as interchangeable warriors diminishes their importance.
