I'm trying to recall the iconic line from the movie The Blues Brothers. It's a line that everyone remembers, but I can't seem to think of it right now.

Could you please elaborate on the context of this question? Are you referring to the historical figure Achilles from Greek mythology, or perhaps a character named Achilles in a modern adaptation or fictional work set in Troy? Assuming you're referring to the mythological figure, Achilles is well-known for his bravery and prowess in battle. However, I'm not immediately aware of a single, universally recognized "famous line" attributed to him specifically in relation to Troy. His most famous line, "My mother told me I would be immortal, but she never said anything about being invincible," is more generally associated with his story and his vulnerability to being killed by an arrow in his heel, the "Achilles' heel" of the tale. If you're looking for a memorable quote that could be attributed to Achilles in the context of Troy, it's worth noting that his character and actions are depicted in various ancient texts and modern retellings, so the exact phrasing of any quote could vary. For instance, in the epic poem The Iliad, Achilles is portrayed as a fierce warrior who eventually withdraws from battle due to a dispute with his commander, Agamemnon. However, when his closest companion Patroclus is killed in battle, Achilles' anger and grief drive him to return to the fray with a renewed sense of purpose. In this context, his actions and words may be seen as his "famous line" in Troy, rather than a single memorable quote. That being said, if you're specifically looking for a quote that encapsulates Achilles' character or actions in Troy, I'd recommend consulting a trusted source on Greek mythology or the works of Homer, such as a scholarly book, online database, or educational website.
