HOW BRUTAL IS ACHILLES?

Achilles, is a myrmidon son of Pelius and the goddess Thetis; The greatest among all the Aechaen Warriors. He is a cousin and a best friend to Patroclus who died in hector's hands.


I think Achilles is more like a lion than a man. Because compared to a lion, Achilles shows the features of a lion who brutally kills it's prey. 


"Hector, my dear son, don't stand out there alone, facing that man with no one else to help you. Or you will quickly meet your death, slaughtered by Peleus son, who's much more powerful." (Book 22. 50-60.220-221)


In this lines, it shows how brutal and violent he is. Achilles did this for his cousin, Patroclus.
