<P> Hector pulls out his sword , now his only weapon , and charges . But Achilles grabbed his thrown spears that delivered to him by the unseen Athena who wore the Hades helmet . And then Achilles aimed his spear and pierced the collar bone section of Hector , the only part that the stolen Armor of Achilles that not protected Hector from it . That wound was fatal yet that wound also allowed Hector to speak to Achilles . Hector , in his final moments , begs Achilles for an honorable funeral , but Achilles replies that he will let the dogs and vultures devour Hector 's flesh . ( Throughout the Homeric poems , several references are made to dogs , vultures , and other creatures that devour the dead . It can be seen as another way of saying one will die . ) Hector dies , prophesying that Achilles ' death will follow soon : </P>
