In Book 22 of the Iliad, Achilles wins the duel against Hector through a combination of superior strength, skill, and tactical advantage. After a fierce exchange, Hector attempts to negotiate, but Achilles, driven by rage and the desire for revenge for Patroclus's death, refuses. Ultimately, Achilles exploits Hector’s moment of vulnerability, striking him fatally in the neck with a well-aimed thrust of his spear, sealing Hector's fate and avenging his fallen friend.
