Hector
Hector is the Trojan champion in [[TheIliad|《伊利亚特》]] as retold by 96.荷马史诗:在假装永生的时代,我们重读死亡(伊利亚特篇). The episode highlights his movement between battlefield duty and domestic tenderness: he returns to Troy, asks for prayer to Athena, rebukes Paris, and then says goodbye to his wife and child before returning to war.
The source does not treat Hector as a simple foil for [[Achilles|阿基里斯]]. He is brave and civic-minded, but he also fears death, runs around Troy before turning to fight, and becomes a corpse whose treatment exposes the moral cost of Achilles’ grief. His death and [[Priam|普里阿摩斯]]’ later plea make the poem’s Homeric Mortality Reading emotionally concrete.
