The movie "Troy" wasn't based on a book called Troy. It was based on The Iliad by Homer. The Iliad tells only a small portion of the 10 year Trojan War--about 9 weeks, I believe. The move "Troy" is a condensed version of The Iliad.
Some argue and say there is evidence that Hector actually lived and was a great warrior in the Trojan Wars, which is likely but he was probably wasn't the amazing warrior as he is depicted, He was more than likely just a stand out soldier in the Trojan Army. Its mostly believed that Hector was a mythical character depicted as the greatest warrior in Troy. The myth claims he was slain by Achilles, and his lifeless body was dragged from the walls of Troy to the Greek lines. His brother Paris killed Achilles in the siege of Troy by shooting Achilles in the only vulnerable place on his body, the heel, that's where the term Achilles Heel stems from, meaning a persons special weakness.
the story of the fall of troy is as follows. after 10 long years of battle, in which many heroes. died, including hector and Achilles, the Greeks used trickery to beat the Trojans. at the advice of Odysseus, the wisest of the Greeks, the army was to build a huge hollow horse, as a peace offering, and leave it for the Trojans. they would also leave behind a soldier to lie to the Trojans and tell them that the Greeks had given up. then the Greeks sailed away, but only a little way of. now inside the horse the best of the Greek soldiers hid, and when taken into the city with the horse they waited until night time, then, with the rest of the army that had sailed back to Troy, they attached the city and set it on fire, killing all of the Trojans they met. thus ended the city of troy.
Aeneas is mentioned in the Iliad as some kind of company captain in the Trojan army; since Hector is the commander in chief of the Trojan forces, the relation between the two heroes must have been close.In the Aeneid the ghost of Hector brings Aeneas the penates of Troy to carry to Italy.The penates were the special gods who guarded a city - its soul. A city only truly died when its penates were destroyed or captured.Since Aeneas carried Troy's penates to Italy, where they eventually became the penates of Rome, Rome was the reincarnation of Troy.
Troy was a city encircled by high walls impregnable.The top of the walls had ramparts from where it was easy to thwart invasions.Troy was an island approachable by sea only.The stretch of sand between the wall and sea was the only place where invaders could land which made defending Troy from the ramparts easy.

Paris of Troy killed Achilles in the Trojan war by shooting a poisoned arrow into his heel, the only part of him that wasn't protected. This is where we get the phrase "Achilles heel".
Possibly you mean the 'Trojan Horse', which was a huge wooden model of a horse in which the Greeks concealed soldiers in order to capture Troy. So, since the Trojan Horse was only a model, it wasn't alive, thus couldn't die.

The weapons used in the trojan wars were: A SPEAR - used as a primary weapon of a Greek or Trojan soldier. A SWORD - would only be used if your spear was broken. But still an effective close combat weapon. A BOW - used in large numbers to break the ranks of an enemy line. Or by an individual to try to kill the enemy before they can get too close to you. A JAVELIN - were thrown by men on foot or were thrown from chariots. AND THAT'S WHAT I MOSTLY KNOW SEE YA
