Hector and Paris rally the Trojans and start fighting with the Greeks. Helenus, Hector’s brother, being inspired by the gods, tells Hector he will not die in this battle. This encourages Hector who decides to challenge each of Greek great warriors, to single combat.
Nine Greek heroes step up to the challenge. They draw by lot to see who is to face Hector. Ajax wins, and fights Hector. Their continually fight all day long. Their duel ends without a victory and with both of them expressing their admiration for the other’s skills Hector gives Ajax his sword, which Ajax would later use to commit suicide. Ajax gives Hector his girdle, which is later, used to attach Hector's corpse to the chariot on which Achilles drag him around the walls of Troy.
