the author indirectly describes Achilles as avengement seeking is when he calls for Hector. According to the text Achilles screamed ““HECTOR!”” This proves that Achilles is avengement seeking because he is searching for Hector to get avengement for him killing Patroclus. The second time Achilles is indirectly described as avengement seeking is when he chases Hector. Quoted from the text “Twice Achilles chased Hector around the city, then once more until Athena came to Achilles and told him it…

This isn’t an act of hero. Compare to Achilles, I think Hector is a hero. Different from Achilles, Hector put national benefit in the first place. Hector fight in the battleground for his country and his citizens. In my point of view, Achilles only fight for several friends and his family. In another hand, Hector also respected all his opponent on the battleground, Hector promise if he killed his opponent, he would send the body back to Achaean’s ship and let Archaean…

Unfortunately, some people fail this expectation. Achilles in The Iliad by homer, translated by Stanley Lombardo, is an example of this occurrence. Achilles possesses many qualities; such as strength, persistence, ambition, and compassion. He is even referred to as godlike many times throughout the epic. All these…

Hector is outside the Gates of Troy waiting to fight Achilles. In Book XXII line 91-99 Priam is trying to convince Hector not to fight Achilles alone “Hector, my child, if ever I’ve smoothed you…Dogs will eat your body by the Greeks ships”. Hector himself has pride issues with facing Achilles he knows he will die. Even when Achilles arrived, Hector tries to make a pact with him in lines 277-285 Hector said “I’m not running anymore, Achilles…Only strip…

rational to use military force to save such a high-level captive, the fact that the war lasts about twelve years is a bit illogical. It is stressed throughout The Iliad all of the misfortune and unnecessary death that the cumbersome war has caused. Even Hector, Paris’ older brother, comments on the stupidity of such a long war over a woman. However, the reason for this irrationality is simply Helen’s immense attractiveness, which compels every male gaze. Both Menelaus and Paris’ sexual yearning…
