Answer:

The death of Hector.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Hector is killed by Achilles outside the city of Troy after Achilles thrust his spear through Hector’s throat. Hector pleads Achilles to return his body for burial but Achilles does not agree to it.
  • The death of Hector signifies that Trojan had lost the war as Hector was one of the greatest warrior on the battlefield. After the battle with Hector, Achilles returns to war and becomes the champion of the Trojan War.
