Why do we not talk about Hector of Troy more? I understand that untimely The Iliad is about Achilles and the Greeks, but Hector deserves more attention. His scene with his wife and son is so sweet. He is literally paying the consequences for his brother Paris being a little shit and is just trying his best to defend his city and his family. And don’t even get me started on Helen literally liking Hector more than Paris. His death scene in The Iliad with his parents weeping for him and Andromache realizing something is wrong is so deeply heartbreaking to me. He was so loved.
