Who would win in a one on one battle Achilles or Leonides?

Achilles would win because he was a greater warrior. Although Spartans were lifetime warriors unlike the other Greek tribes, and thus much more effective in combat, according to sources, Achilles' combat skill was second to none. He was exceptional. In addition, Achiles was a half-god (his mother was a goddess and his father was a mortal). From Atlantis01: Achilles was also completely invulnerable - that is except for his heel - as he was dipped in the river styx as a child. even though The spartan armour and weaponry was much better thatn the panoplia that Achilles would have had given him a distinct advantage...if Achilles wasn't half god. adding to that, the Leonidas we all know and love was about 60 years old at Themopylae, battle scarred and old, he would prove little match for young and god-like Achilles. From soccerbeast010: Also Achilles was second only to Hector who was the greatest fighter in the world. The thing about Achilles being invulnerable --- that comes from a minor poem by Statius not from Homer. In fact if you read the Illiad, you will see that Achilles is wounded four times. In fact Achilles was warned in a prophesy that he would be killed at Troy and he did everything he could to get out of going.(initially) And why would he wear armour if he war invulnerable? I think it detracts a bit from the story to make him death-proof. And Achilles killed Hector in a one on one totally fair fight. So Hector wasn't the greatest. In fact Ajax the greater went toe to toe with Hector three time and the fights were all draws. But as for Achilles vs Leonides. Achilles would definitely win.
