Hector was the greatest warrior in the Trojan Army and one of the strongest men in the entire war. One of the two princes of the great kingdom of Troy, Hector was also a hero in Homer’s Iliad. Hector and Achilles were the two greatest heroes and soldiers in the Trojan War and were destined to fight each other in one of the greatest battles of the war. However, Hector, calm and royal like Aeneas, was never as wild and fierce as Achilles. Soon after Achilles defeated Hector in a great battle and dragged his body around the battlefield behind his chariot, Hector’s younger brother, Prince Paris, exacted the family’s revenge by famously ending Achilles’ life. Hector lived on as one of the greatest heroes and has become a legend equal to Achilles.
