They are different because Hector fought for his country, Achilles was a mercenary, he fought for the love of fighting. Achilles was a son of the gods, Hector, a mortal man.
They are the same because they were both born and bred to be warriors. They showed honor and respect on the battlefield.
For the rest of the "Troy" story, read Homer's the ILLYAD, and the follow up the Odyssey

Achilles,because his mother held him by his ankle when he was diped into the river Styx's,could not be killed except in that one spot, his ankle, had a major advantage in his fight with Hector.
Hector and Achilles were both experts in the art of killing. Great warriors of an Epic era.
