quote: ''
summary: 'Before Achilles and Memnon fight, Thetis and Eos ask Zeus to spare their
sons, but Zeus weighs their fates and Memnon''s death is indicated. Eos has the
Winds carry away Memnon''s body. Achilles later attacks Troy and is mortally wounded
in the heel by Paris with Apollo''s aid. Ajax and Odysseus recover Achilles''
body; Thetis mourns him, he is burned on a funeral pyre, and his bones are placed
in a golden urn beside Patroclus. Achilles'' armor is awarded to Odysseus, and
Ajax kills himself. Odysseus captures the prophet Helenus, who reveals three requirements
for Troy''s conquest: Achilles'' son must fight, Heracles'' arrows must be used,
and the Palladium must be obtained. Odysseus brings Neoptolemus from Scyros and,
with Diomedes, brings Philoctetes and the arrows from Lemnos; Machaon heals Philoctetes.
Philoctetes mortally wounds Paris, who seeks healing from Oenone on Mount Ida.
Oenone refuses, then repents too late and dies on Paris'' funeral pyre.'
