I don't remember the book very well, so I'll base this primarily off of Troy
Achilles: ISFP
Patroclus: I?F?
Eudorus: ESFJ or ESTJ 7w8 or 8w7
Ajax: ENTJ or ESTP 8w7
Menalaus: ESTJ 8w7
Agamemnon: ENTJ 8

Hector: INFJ 1w2
Paris: ESFP 7w6 or 4w3
Hellen: ISFP
Priam: ESTJ
Briseis: ENFJ 2w1
Odysseus: ENTP

Been a while since I read the book but I always imagined Achilles more of an ESTP whose shadow functions kick in (Si)(Te)(Fi)(Ne) after the death of Patroclus

I also agree as to OPs Helen, Odysseus and Agamemnon.

most people disagree with me on achilles, but I really think he's ISFP
1) he's extremely romantic
2) he has the SP desire for glory
3) he holds his own values and and beliefs seperate from the other soldiers/pawns of agamemnon
4) despite points 1 and 5, he is extremely brutal because he has a born talent for it (the born talent suggests Se and the being swayed by what is "natural screams Fi)
5) he is definitely a Feeler, but he's definitely not FJ. he doesn't care about anyone except his friends (the Myrmidons) and love interests (Patroclus and Briseis)
6) despite his independent beliefs he doesn't think about any of his actions and only does what comes naturally to him
7) he seems like an ISFP as opposed to ESFP because he's more serious and convicted as opposed to goofy and crazy
