Hector
Character:
Answer: Hector was a
prince of Troy in Greek mythology, son of King Priam and Queen Hecuba. He is
also a devoted husband and father, and is very concerned for the survival of
Troy. Hector is the leader of the Trojan
forces. He can be considered the more
heroic of the heroes in The Iliad and seems to have a less selfish mentality. Many of Hector's speeches throughout the epic
have to do with concern about the fate of his city and worry about his
family. He is brave warrior and a
thoughtful leader. Under his leadership,
the Trojans push the Achaeans back to their ships. After Hector kills
Patroclus, Achilles kills Hector for revenge.
How to return Hactor Dead body.
Answer:
Since he killed Patroclus with the help of a god, the gods helped arrange his death. The
one-on-one combat ends with Achilles killing Hector. Achilles knew that coming
to Troy would gain him glory but cost him his life. The final reason Achilles
returns Hector's body to Priam is the ransom. Priam gives Achilles gold equal
to the weight of Hector's body, per Achilles' demand.
Characteristics of Menelaus in the Iliad?
Answer: Menelaus, in Greek mythology, king of Sparta
and younger son of Atreus, king of Mycenae; the abduction of his wife, Helen,
led to the Trojan War. Menelaus is a good soldier and a steady man, but in The
Iliad he is overshadowed by the glory of his older brother Agamemnon and the
Achaean hero Achilles. ... But it doesn't matter in the end: Menelaus and the
Achaeans are the victors, and Helen eventually returns to Sparta with Menelaus.
