At Zeus's order, Athena gives Achilles the food of the gods - by putting straight in his chest without him noticing. Then he dons the armour Hephaestus made for him, takes up the spear his father gave him and heads out to confront the Trojans, feud with Agamemnon settled. Hera prophesies his violent death but Achilles is not deterred; he's heard it before and knows he's not coming back from Troy alive.
