The Trojans were outnumbered and stayed behind their thick walls most of the time. Early in the "Iliad", Zeus favored Troy, so Trojans came out to fight the first battle in years. It began with Prince Paris of Troy challenging any Greek to a duel. The day ended with his brother Hector issuing a similar challenge. One Greek arose to accept both challenges. Who was he? He could beat Paris but not Hector, so he was held back from Hector. No one else dared to accept Hector's challenge, for he was a 7' tall 325 pound stronman quite skillful with sword and spear. Old Nestor shamed the greeks, so their 9 best men arose to fight Hector. Who were they? Which one was chosen?
