if Hector killed Achilles, Achilles would be dead.

(This is if the original story is the true story of course)

The Greeks would lose a prominent commander. Also now their commander is gone Achilles's troops would probably go home since a real reason besides loyalty to Achilles was not their.

Argamendon would not have stopped his siege and would have carried on with his mission to destroy Troy. Now without his best warrior and still facing the best warrior of Troy his prospects would not have been good. He would probably have went on with the siege for a while, but without results.

Perhaps the same trick would have been taken place with the disappearence of the Greek army and fleet. A horse would also probably be standing on the beach, but with Hector's intellect the troops would probably first inspect the horse and certainly not bring it in. Hector would not have felt for the trick (I pressume).

Since the Greeks could not take the city and neither trick it would have sailed home and abandon their campaign.

Troy would have been saved!

But of course this is only if the Ilias story is true and if Hector was indeed a very intellectual man.

Neoptolemus would probably factor in our legends in a much bigger way.

Hera would have been royally pissed, and hatched some plot to kill Hector anyway. The conclusion would have been the same.

And the literary epic of Homer would be called something like the "Hellad", instead of the "Illiad".

BTW, speculative literature ?

Mandate of Heaven

Restraint overcoming passion abandoned? Where's the tragedy in that?

You do know that it is called Iliad after the other name for Troy Ilion, and not after Achilles?
