ACHILLES' SHIP
IN TROY MOVIE
.jpg)
When Achilles leads
his ship first to the Trojan beach, Agamemnon asks
Nestor, "will he take the beach with just 50 men?" Achilles spurs his men on, but
holds Patroculus back, for he is not yet a Myrmidon and
he is to guard the ship. Achilles lands with his men amidst a rain
of arrows. They form a single shield as they advance to the enemy
positions. At close range, they break ranks and take the
beach, before any other Greek ship touches the sand.
In Greek
mythology, Achilles was a hero of the Trojan War who was
known as being the greatest of all the Greek warriors. A
central character in Homer's Iliad, he is presented as
the commander of the mythical tribe of the Myrmidons.
Achilles'
most notable feat during the Trojan War was the slaying
of the Trojan prince Hector outside the gates of Troy.
Although the death of Achilles is not presented in the
Iliad, other sources concur that he was killed near the
end of the Trojan War by Paris, who shot him with an
arrow. Later legends state that Achilles was
invulnerable in all of his body except for one heel.
According to that myth, when his mother dipped him in
the river Styx as an infant, she held him by one of his
heels leaving it untouched by the waters and thus his
only vulnerable body part.
