Summary
It may be generally understood that the Greek gods were arrogant a******s and Artemis was really good at violence.
At the dawn of the Trojan War, Iphigenia was prepared to be a willing sacrifice to Arrow Rain Showering Artemis (she's so moon-struck dreamy). Penelope was ready to do the practical thing in Ithaca. Circe had vital experiments to complete. Vital! Penthesilea was just waiting for the war to start. Achilles was looking forward to some lovely encounters with heroes. Helen was taking a hot steamy bath.
Which is why the aliens really shouldn't have tried to shock and awe the earthlings by beaming up the Queens and stealing Artemis' sacrifice. Big mistake. Huge really.
Or, how Iphigenia escaped certain death and Helen found new opportunities.

Summary
As the fight progressed, he found himself distracted and clumsy, relying on near misses and lucky strikes like some unseasoned youth. Whenever their gazes met, a little more of Achilles's skill seemed to melt away, and before long he was knocked to the ground, disarmed and held at the point of Nemea's spear. And now Achilles's own body had become the spoils of victory.
