1. When Hector came face to face with Achilles, the former was seized by fear and turned to flee as Achilles gave chase to him three times around the city. Hector then mastered his fear and turned to face Achilles. But Athena, in the guise of Hector's brother Deiphobus, deluded Hector. Hector threw a spear at Achilles which missed, then, when Hector turned to face his supposed brother to retrieve another weapon he saw no one there. At that moment he realised that he was doomed. He requested from Achilles that his body be returned to Priam for a rightful burial, which Achilles refused.

Achilles recognised the armour that his foe was wearing, and knew how to exploit it's weakness, as there was a chink in the armour at the throat. He plunged his spear through the chink and Hector was killed. Achilles then slit Hector's heels, and took the girdle that Ajax gave him and passed it through the slits of the heels. He than fastened the girdle to his chariot and drove his fallen enemy through the dust to the Danaan camp. For the next few days Achilles mistreated the body, but the body remained preserved by the gods from all injury. Priam soon came to ransom the body. When Priam returned to Troy with the body it was given full funeral honours.

2. Achilles was killed by Paris — either by an arrow to the heel, or in an older version by a knife to the back while visiting Polyxena, a princess of Troy. In some versions, the god Apollo guided Paris' arrow.

3. It might be King Priam, whose murder was seen by his other son Helenus, twin brother of the prophetess Cassandra. Helenus, like Cassandra, has been given the power of prophesy. He was captured and tortured by the Greeks in an attempt to learn Troy's weakness.

1.) The same thing that happened in the movie. Achilles dragged Hector's body around the city, but he did it over the course of several days, if I recall.

2.) Paris killed Achilles.

3.) I dunno. But I do know that unlike the movie, Hector's family does not escape. His wife and baby son are captured. The baby is dropped over the wall, and I think the wife becomes a slave.
