Hector Feliciano

For my final project, I will compare two pieces of art and show the comparisons and differences that they have in the Greek ancient period and the modern period of the same theme “the representation of the Trojan war”. The visual work art is a bilingual art because it was made with the participation of two artists, Andokides (Red figure) and the Lysippides (Black figure) and it is titled “Achilles and Ajax Playing a Dice a Game”. It was painted in 525–520 B.C in Greece and it represents the…

said that Hector was fated to die no matter what choice he made. Hector was a mighty Trojan leader. During the war, Hector returned home and asked all the women to pray to Athena for the men fighting in the war. While he was home, he went to get Paris with the agenda to bring him back to the battlefield to fight. Once he arrived home, he realized his wife, Andromache, and son, Astyanax were not there. The house keeper explained to Hector that his wife went to search for him. When Hector…

to recover it. One can say that this is Achilles final changing in realizing he must be nice and is understanding that the outrage he feels towards Hector is a silly outrage that he felt towards Agamemnon. When Priam comes to recover Hector, Achilles approaches him with admiration. Achilles additionally consents to give Priam enough time to cover Hector lawfully. “The turning-point of the entire epic comes when Achilles lifts Priam up by the hand out of pity for his old age. Indeed, it is…

rage drives him throughout the work to engage in arguments with Achilles, despite his better judgement that the two should get along. Achilles’ own rage is most evident after the death of his best friend, Patroclus, when his grief drives him to kill Hector for revenge. The only characters not swayed by rage are the gods, and the highest of all gods, Zeus, exemplifies this with his stoicism in the face of the brutal Trojan War. Priam, an old, wise father, is the only character to truly master a…

in the dialogue Hector and Achilles have in The Iliad before their duel. Hector, aware that his chances of victory against Achilles are grim, pleads to Achilles, “Once I’ve stripped your glorious armor, Achilles, I will give your body back to your loyal comrades. Swear you’ll do the same” (Homer 550). Not only is burial a method of honoring the body, but also through Homer’s works, it is apparent that the dead cannot enter the afterlife without proper burial. During battle, Hector mistakenly…

Achilles stands up for himself because of the disrespect of Agamemnon. Achilles has a chance to honor himself after his death, however, he refuses Hector’s offer, in order to honor Patroclus. The refusal could have led to a dishonor of Achilles’ body, if Hector would have won. Readers experience the wrath of the warrior. Readers notice a sense of complexity when proud Achilles’ must honor Patroclus, at whatever cost. However, he has tenderness when Priam retrieves his son. Achilles is immoral,…

Only the most cruel and unusual mind could so callously dishonor the body of a man the likes of Hector, and particularly after Hector had explicitly entreated Achilles to treat his body with respect in the case that he dies. What accounts for Achilles’ perversity? No doubt the culprit remains the very anger which assisted Achilles in defeating Hector. Anger has caused Achilles to become depraved to the point where he cannot discern a difference in how one ought to treat…

Summary: Achilles discovers that his friend Patroclus’ body is being fought over and how Hector stole the armor from the corpse. While mourning his loss, Thetis is told about the loss of Patroclus and the conflict over his body. Achilles refuses to return to his mother unless he can kill Hector for the dishonor he has done to Patroclus’ memory. Thetis warns Achilles how he won’t outlive Hector by long but Achilles’ only goal is to end Hector’s life. Thetis has Hephaestus make armor for Achilles.…

Hector, a man of great respect and honor, is a great hero of Troy through all of his feats he had contributed during the Trojan War. This general of Troy is considered by the Trojans as their greatest champion during the Trojan War. Through his skill, courage and leadership, he kept the entire Trojan army together in the face of a war. In their eyes, he is a hero worth serving and dying for. Not only was he a great warrior, he was also a loyal husband and father. Throughout the war, Hector is…

friends and one gets killed. A man name Hector killed Achilles, best friend Patroclus. “Hector, Surely you thought where you stripped Patroclus armor, that you, you would never be safe.”(line 167, pg73) What Achilles was speaking about is that Hector killed Patroclus thinking that it was Achilles but, in all reality it was Patroclus in Achilles armor. Athena was sent down from the gods to save Achilles and help him kill Hector in a way. In the end Hector ends up trying to get Achilles to give…
