Characteristics:

  - brave

Ø  “So much, then, for the needs of the moment. As for tomorrow, I say this to you. I pray in good hope to Zeus and all the other gods that I shall be able to drive away these doomed dogs whom the demons of death brought here in their black ships…” – The Iliad, page 142, paragraph 526~530

- confident of victory

Ø  “Ajax, you’ve got it wrong, you great oaf. What are you talking about? If only I could be as certain of spending my days as the son of Zeus who drives the storm-cloud, with the lady Hera as my mother, and be honoured as Athene and Apollo are honoured, as I am of this day proving disastrous to the Greeks, all of them. You’ll die with the rest of them, if you dare to stand up to my long spear which is going to feast on your lily-white skin. Yes, you’ll fall by your own ships, and your flesh and fat shall glut the Trojan dogs and birds of prey.” – The Iliad, page 238, paragraph 825~833

  - full of leadership

  - excellent strategies

  - very reasonable

- gentle to Helen and his family

Ø  Helen thanked Hector for his grace to her when he was alive. Hector was the only person who actually took care of her during the war. –The Iliad

  - he was laid on top of the pyre and got cremated between his people

Ø  King Priam begged Achilles for his son’s dead body. Achilles was deeply moved so he gave Hector’s body back and called for 10 days of truce.

Comparison:

Achilles	Hector
- tragic hero - half-god - no responsibility - its characteristic is like a wild horse - hot tempered - entered the war for his won honor - selfish - He killed Hector and a lot of Trojan soldiers to revenge on his best friend, Partoclus that the river overflew (If he’s asking for the right to revenge on his best friend, the Trojans have rights to kill a thousand!) - sensibility takes the heart	- anti-hero - human - had humane feelings - Trojan - solitary leader + supreme commander + bravest general - prince of Troy - best strategist - fights with a sense of duty and nationalism - loves his brother, Paris, although he caused the war - sometimes fears death - feels down when he loses - no one except the best general of Greek, Achilles, could kill him - reasons overweigh sensitivity

Teams:

	Greeks	Trojans
God/goddess	Hera, Poseidon, Athena	Aphrodite, Ares, Apollo
Heroes	Agamemnon, Achilles, Patroclus, Menelaus,  Nestor, Odysseus	Hector, Paris, Glaucus, Deiphobus, Sarpedon,
