    Funny. I've never seen this fight before. I'll go with Achilles.

    Leonidas was a freak of nature fighter, but Achilles was a TOTAL monster. Like, not just a fantastic fighter, but blatantly superhuman at points and casually superior to other top notch opponents of his period. He can cut the head off of a solid bronze statue as an example and one shot the best soldiers that enemy armies can muster.

    He cant one shot Leonidas, but he wears him down after a prolonged confrontation like he did with Hector.

    After dispatching King Leonidas, Achilles barked a challenge to the Spartan army, "Who's next?!"

    299 Spartans stepped forward.

    Achilles cracked a grin. Fighting battles was their profession, but winning wars was his.

    Achilles. He at least wore more than just a helmet. What's more, his only weak spot was his heel (hence the term, "Achilles Heel"). Leaving the rest of him invulnerable.

    Leonidas would yell, "Beware our short-shorts!"
    Achilles would respond, by stabbing Leonidas through with a spear.

    Troy Achilles wasn't mythical Achilles, in the movie his heel only hut him when Paris shot an arrow through it. He was a man, he didn't have divine gifts his mother gave him. His weakness was archers.

    It’s one of those that was done so often on the forum before the reset that it generally no longer gets bothered with.

    And yeah, Achilles wins.

    In Khazan, he’d do so rather effortlessly. In-character, it’d take a little longer, but he still wouldn’t break a sweat.
