Then there was the scene where the trojans mount a surprise attack at the greeks and they all decide, in the middle of the HUGE battle, to crowd around "achilles" and hector and watch them fight. Then when hector kills "arhilles", the almost 80,000 guys decide that was enough fighting for the day and they walk back to the city and the greeks back to their ships...

Didn't the Greek archers have the High ground? ( a ridge before the beach?)

That's just mythology stuff. I thaught it fit the plot perfectly.
