What one can also find interesting in the story is how environment can influence the t .....

One of the most obvious reasons that these two men were different was that one was fighting for the Troy, the other for Greece. Hector, the Trojan, not only had different reasons for fighting with Achilles; he was also very different in his personality and personal traits. The reason that Achilles was fighting was to avenge his friend Patroclus’ death, who was killed by Hector. Hector was not fighting back to “authorize .....

How can we overthrow the being who knows everything and see .....
