Answer 2

Answers:

a. at the gullet; a. helen.

Explanation:

In the Iliad, Hector wears Achilles´ armor (having taken it from Patroclus), and with it he engages in battle with Achilles. Achilles, knowing full well his armor, knows that the neck area (the gullet, the collar bone), are exposed, and that is precisely where Achilles aims his spear thus killing Hector.

The event described above is framed within the Trojan War which was started after Paris (Hector´s brother) stole Helen from Menelaus, which enraged the latter and propitiated the beginning of the Trojan War.
