Basically for a typical warrior is somebody who takes part in or is experienced in warfare to test their bravery and courage as a man. Well, for me , thats Achilles when we talk about stuffs like that. In the book it was clearly mentioned that Achilles was a man of mighty, strong, indestructible, a man without fear and most of all a great warrior. The reason why we say all of this things is because we knew that when it comes in ability of fighting no one doubt Achilles. But even though he was a great warrior he has weaknesses too. When the that time that his mother Thetis a sea Goddess want to turn him as a God his mother fail to soaked his heel becoming him as a half immortal. And that is also the reason why he died because he was shot by an arrow on his heel causing of his death. But even though he died he is truly known as one of the great and best warrior living. Achilles is a country loving king and also a peacemaker. Because even though he likes war he only goes when their is a reason for him to go and do the killing stuff when their is a reason for him to kill. Like in the previews books he went on the peaceful way in dealing with Agammenon in terms of his concubine Chrysies. And also even though Agammenon offers him something he refuse it and still he wants to return to his homeland. Because for me being a king it is important to be loyal to your homeland.

Obvious to say about his physical weakness; what do you think is his weakness as a king? as a human?
