Answer:

I Choose Chapter 4.

While the Trojans and the Achaean are engaged in their battle, Zeus the highest of the gods, is keeping the other gods on the sideline, warning  Menelaus and Hera not to take sides on the battle. Leaving the result of the duel as what the mortal wanted it. Zeus wanted it to see the mortals resolved their own mistakes and giving some space for reasoning and for the two warring  group to give truce a chance. Zeus would rather see the blood shed to stop  and resolved the difference in a peaceful way. Instead of being succumbed with their pride and ego and waste a lot of good warriors, Zeus would rather prefer peace to conquer the land.....

It will affect the end result of the story with peaceful ending wherein most of the main character will still be living in harmony..The difference between Agamemnon  and Troy will be resolved in  a peaceful resolution. Helen and Paris will be vanquished from the city of Troy and be left alone. Hector and Troy will amends by means of paying in kinds Agamemnon and his army in replace of  Helen.

I consider Hector, eldest brother of Paris as the hero of the poem because he did such a heroic act of fighting for his brother who although made a mistake of taking Menelaus wife, Helen away and had cause the battle to erupt between two former peaceful kingdom. Although the poem is centered at Achilles and his anger, Hector showed a sympathetic courage to defend their territory and his brothers insane love for Helen. Although killed at the later part of the poem by Achilles, who in the last moment had a changed of heart of sparing the lives of Hectors family and the other characters of the poem.
