I read and watched the movie about Troy and Achilles. Lets say its all true wouldn't whoever shot Achilles has to be pretty much a sniper with a bow and arrow to hit that small of a target? (lemmy.world)

I don’t know about movie depictions, but according to myth the arrow was guided by Apollo, the god of archery.
