THE INVINCIBILITY
OF ACHILLES
As Hector stops and turns to face Achilles, Achilles slows his speed to a casual walk, taunting Hector with his calmness. He reminds himself, “Achilles, just keep your cool good man; the longer the wait, the sweeter the revenge.” He waits and listens to what Hector has to say, but when Hector begins to speak of pacts, all of Achilles’ feelings of anger, sorrow, and hate return, and his response is harsh and vibrant. ... “I will do far more than leave your body to the dogs,” Achilles says in his mind. ... ”
As one can see, physically invincible Achilles is not anywhere near being invincible emotionally.
