At Hector’s side – do not attack Achilles yet
Hector drew back – Achilles drew upon him, and killed another man
His had split in two – Achilles cried out – terror of all soldiers – there ye lie
Achilles hit him on the head – spear through his helmet
Acean’s speared him in the back – before Poseidon – god of earthquake takes joy in watching them

Great battlefield runner – hit with a golden belt – passing through the man – passing out through the navel – sprawled out
Track 8 – Disc 12
Hector saw his brother fall before him – Hector could not hang at a distance and ran upon Achilles
Achilles versus Hector – come on, Hector said – you can frighten me with words but I’m as far as being a match for you. By heaven I can take your life.
Apollo – 3 times Achilles lunge with his spear – he lunged a fourth time – you got away from death again you dog – Apollo saved you again. I will kill you later – I will tackle others now – any other Trojans that I can find.
Track 9 – Disc 12
Imagine that Achilles that could be swayed –
Wound came blood. Achilles move towards someone else and hit someone else by the ear
Another sword straight through his head. Elbow tendons – spear goes through the man’s arm. Achilles go through neck. (This man is quite the warrior)

Drops of bloods thrown up through the drive through the men he

Athena overtook lord Hector
Hector – of all my brothers – I honour you still more – you seeing me run
Athena – my dear brother –let us fight him and fight him hard – let us see if
Achilles can be brought down by his spear.
Hector was the first to speak. I won’t run from you as before. Whether I’ll be killed or I kill you. I should not insult your corpse. I will give your body back to the Greeks and I hope you will do the same for me.
Achilles- talks back – no courtesy no sworn truce between us
Summon up what skills you have – there is no way out, you will pay the reckoning for all the men
Track 5 (Disc 13)
Cast his shaft with his long shadow and Hector was sparred
Again he tried to hit him again
Deadly aim at Hector – nearly all was covered
Achilles drove his sword into Hector – but sparred his windpipe

Dialogue between them – the dogs will rip your body
Hector – I beg you by your soul and by your parents do not let your dogs feed on me, accept the gifts from my father, and let them have my body back.
Achilles – beg me no beggary by soul or parents. You’ve caused such agony for me.

HE stripped the shield from his shoulders.
Track 7 (Disc 13)
Everyone came around to see Achilles – everyone came and stabbed the body.
Now Hector has turned vulnerable.
Achilles ties Hector to the chariot. The head so princely lies in dust.
His mother wailed – heartbroken to be close to her son hold against you. Great as you are. Even as he spoke – the end came and death hit him.
He left his manhood in the world. Achilles – die – I will accept my own when Zeus decides
