There are no pacts between lions and men

Hector:
I've seen this moment in my dreams, I'll make a pact with you,
with the gods as our witnesses, let us pledge that the winner will allow the loser all the proper funeral rituals.

Achilles:
There are no pacts between lions and men...
Now you know who you are fighting.

Hector:
I thought it was you I was fighting yesterday
And I wish it had been you, but I gave the dead boy the honor he deserved.

Achilles:
You gave him the honor of your sword...
You won't have eyes tonight, you won't have ears or a tongue,
you will wander the underworld blind deaf and dumb,
and all the dead will know,
this is Hector, the fool who thought he killed Achilles.
