Hector

Hector was a Trojan prince and the greatest warrior of the Trojan army in Greek legend. He was the eldest son of King Priam and Queen Hecuba, and the husband of Andromache. In Homer's Iliad, Hector is depicted as an ideal warrior and the primary defender of Troy. He is portrayed as a noble character, a devoted son, husband, and father, and a loyal friend.

During the Trojan War, Hector's notable actions included defending Sarpedon, fighting Ajax, and leading an assault on the Greek ramparts. His death occurs after Achilles returns to the war to avenge his friend Patroclus, whom Hector had slain. Achilles kills Hector, and after a period of desecration, Hector's body is returned to his father, Priam, for a funeral. Hector was later venerated in the Troad and at Tanagra.12
