    5. Trojan War Achilles was a stand out warrior. However, guided by Apollo, Paris killed Achilles by shooting him in the ankle.

    6. Hades And so Achilles died a honorable death After the war, during Odysseus’ long trek home, Odysseus stops off in Hades to get advice from the deceased seer, Tiresias. There, he also talks with Achilles. First, Achilles compliments Odysseus for his bravery, and Odysseus mentions how great it must be to be lord over all dead, and Achilles responds:

    7. Hades “Don’t try to sell me out on death, Odysseus. I’d rather be a hired hand back up on earth, slaving away for some poor dirt farmer, than lord over all of these withered dead.”
