The point I'm making is, they were the most elite fighting force in Greek Mythology, and Achilles was a demigod who was never once touched in battle, or challenged, and died only because of Apollos intervention.
However the Myrmidon bring the fight back and the Greeks once again have a chance thanks to Achilles and 50 others. Then Patroclus leads the myrmidon, they start pushing the Greeks back, and he goes and dies. There, they set their camp ablaze and killed even more of their men. What's 50 going to change?Ī lot actually, since the Trojans absolutely creamed the Greeks, and then proceeded to force them all the way back to the beach. right? In a battle between about 4000+ soldiers. Except Achilles and his myrmidon take a backseat because Achilles doesn't want to fight for Agamennon. Then in the next battle, the Greeks have the Trojans on the run. They had won before the other Greeks even landed. The Trojans have every advantage under the sun yet they take the beach no problem. They're fighting on sand, up hill, against arrows and spears flying everywhere. You see Achilles and 50 men take the beach by themselves. It would of been defended by hundreds of men around the same number as the Spartans, probably more considering they were preparing for thousands of Greeks landing. They're two different battles and I'll explain why Achilles' soldiers were more impressive.įirst off, taking the beach of Troy. Comparing the Spartans taking on thousands of Persians to Achilles and his myrmidon just doesn't make sense. How about think Achilles and his men take every round.
