Je li Hektor Grk ili Trojanac?

Hektor je Trojanac koji se bori obraniti Troju od grčke vojske. Iako njegova priča pripada grčkoj književnosti, on je na suprotnoj strani od Ahileja i Odiseja. U Homerovoj Iliadi njegov obiteljski život posebno jasno prikazuje patnju unutar Troje.

Zašto Ahilej ubija Hektora?

Ahilej ubija Hektora kako bi osvetio Patrokla, svog voljenog prijatelja. Hektor je ubio Patrokla u bitci, premda su mu i drugi napadači pomogli da ga svladaju. U Homerovoj Ilijadi Ahilejevu osvetu pokreće tuga, no njegov kasniji susret s Prijamom otvara prostor za zajedničku žalost.
