Hector was my favourite character . He was a good guy , was a legendary warrior who stood up for his foolish little brother even if it cost him his life.. . Died with honor being the bravest to the end ....
As boys we wanted to be Achilles but as men we wished be like Hector
For me Hector was the real hero, not Achilles, Achilles want to proved to tha world that no one can defeat him during his time
Hector fight for his people, while Achilles fight for himself
well, that`s your point of view-yet, to many, it`s achilles who avenged his friend`s death.
to the work of the Iliad and the Little Iliad, the great hero was Diomedes. He was the favorite hero of the goddess Athena. He killed many important Trojans and wounded the gods Aphrodite, Apollo, Mars. seriously injured the hero Aeneas who was saved with the help of the goddess Aphrodite. He also tried to kill Hector three times, but was saved by the intervention of the god Zeus. When Achilles killed a relative in his anger, Diomedes was not afraid to duel him for revenge. After the old Nestor, he was considered the wisest of the Greeks. Hector was a second-rate hero. Twice he was in danger of being killed by Ajax and was saved by divine intervention. Patroclus was superior to Hector. He would have conquered Troy if the god Apollo had not prevented him. The god Apollo was the one who killed Patroclus and Eumorphos delivers the second fatal blow
Hector merely gave him the finishing blow in an arrogant manner and wanted to throw Patroclus' dead body to the dogs. But Hector was the man who loved his family but not his country because he could have given Helen back later and the war would have ended
Among the heroes, we place Achilles, Diomedes, Ajax in the first class of bravery. Achilles and Ajax were invulnerable except for one point. In the second class was Patroklos. In the third class were Hector, Odysseus and Menelaus.
Movie Hector yes. But the Hector in the Iliad was a murdering psychopath that wanted to violate and mutilate Patroclus' corpse. Literally the only reason Achilles desecrated Hector's body was specifically because Hector intended to do it to Patroclus before the other Achaeans rescued his corpse.
Only an elder sibling can understand Hector’s predicament. Having to pay for his brother’s crimes, a crime he didn’t commit. So it is with me and my brother and I think, all siblings. The oldest always takes the fall for the rest.
I wonder what Paris was thinking. Put the whole country at risk for lust. Troy should send Helen back to Greece with Paris head.
I'm an younger sibling and i understand.
Nothing i wont do for that moron 6 years younger than me... love the kid even if he hasn’t been a kid in almost 2 decades
Hector died. What did you do that's comparable to Hector? Take the blame for eating all the ice cream? FFS. 🙄
@@geoganicus7238 calm down you're getting worked up over an internet comment made by a stranger, I know mental health can be something that people struggle with so I will leave it there.
Illios, Troy or as it was called by the Hittites, Walusa existed. There can be no doubt of that any longer. I think it's time we agree that myths are not in every case mere stories and in some cases much more than that...even history perhaps.
Well sense this is the case of mouth to mouth and not a herudidus case
@@thomasdaywalt7735 well...accept that the hittites do have a record of a city called wallusa requesting aid to break a siege from foreigners ravaging their lands. This is believed to be a direct reference to the mycenean palace kings invading troy when the hittites were too weak to support their subject cities. Troy is believed to be the last trading link open to Europe before the bronze age collapse. I believe it's fall instigated the full collapse and the mycneans themselves pushed out by the Dorian descendents of herecles became the pirate sea people's.
There is some history in all of it not just from the Hittite people but also in hieroglyphs and other stories that have been passed down through writings not just stories from mouth
Good video
MY NAME IS HECTOR WHAT THE HECK
Hector, the man who in the Iliad is portrayed as a man of greater integrity and humility when it comes to surrendering to fate than any other Achean. Why do the heroes of Achean Greece so often come off as villains in cruel strength?
You should read the Iliad.
@@ravensthatflywiththenightm7319 It's too biased in that regard.
@@Crafty_Spirit well, if it wasn`t for the iliad, you fool, would never have heard about it-historic or ancient lore have always been biased. and the trojans have always been a treacherous fold. go read about poseidon and apollon building the walls surrounding troy and bein betrayed by treacherous laomedon prior to the trojan war.
Every name in Homer's epic poems carries significance. The ancient poet did not arbitrarily choose the names of his characters; instead, he imbued them with meanings that often reflected the characters' traits, accomplishments, origins, or roles within the narrative.
Take, for instance, the name of Troy's ruler, Priam. This name can be interpreted to mean "the one who is first among others." The connection to modern words such as "prime," which connotes the highest quality or value, is evident. Similarly, the term "prime minister," used in contemporary political systems, designates the head of government, suggesting a position of paramount importance-echoing the stature of Priam in the epic. Or consider Prince Hector, whose name means "the important one" or "the one who holds power/authority."
In the realm of Homer's literature, each name is chosen with careful consideration. Characters' titles often reflect their status or character traits. For example, Achilles' name suggests the glory of the warrior ethos. His prowess in battle and his status as a hero are emblematic of his name's suggestion of nobility and martial excellence. Similarly, Odysseus, the protagonist of "The Odyssey," derives his name from the Greek word 'odyssomai,' meaning to hate or to be grieved. This reflects his long and arduous journey home, marked by trials and suffering that endear him to the audience and highlight his resilience and cunning.
These names are not only appellations but also descriptors that serve to provide the audience with a glimpse into the character's role within the narrative, their personality, or their destiny. The tradition of meaningful names is not confined to the world of ancient epics. It continues in various forms across different cultures and literary genres, where authors often select names to add depth to their characters, to foreshadow their fates, or to pay homage to historical or mythological figures.
In this way, the epics of Homer, replete with meaningful names, create a tapestry of characters whose very identities are entwined with their destinies and traits. This enhances the richness of the poetic narrative and offers insight into the ancient world where stories were not only entertainment but also a mode of preserving history, culture, and values.
Mixing Iliad's caracters with the Hittites, the legend with history.
Very good , I love this time in history
The trojan war happened because the cannal between the mesiteranean and the black sea was the biggest trade route and it was gaurded by troia and they taxed everyone who passed from there heavily until the achaians had enough and did the war to control that. Though Helen of troy was a real person, the story of her and paris leaving for troia was just a myth.
Myth, or the right catalyst to justifiably invade Troy. Nobody will really ever know.
@@hailkingcerion3286 Not, just a myth because Helen was never abducted in the first place...
@@batteryjuicy4231 that`s your point of view. but this matter was far grave back in the olden days.
Why do you insist on placing Phrygians in Asia Minor before the Trojan War (ended c. 1180 BCE) when that's actually the conventional date (archaeology seems limited on accurate dating) for the Phrygian/Mushki migration to Asia Minor (more likely 1178 BCE, with the Greek-led anti-Hittite coalition of the "Sea Peoples") rampaged through Asia Minor and to some extent also the Levant?
I strongly suspect that when the Illiad says Phrygians, it means proto-Phrygians in Macedon (Bryges), just as when they say Larissa they mean Larissa in Thessaly (major Pelasgian center with thousands of years of autonomous civilization, although earlier located rather towards the coast: Dimini area, near modern Volos). The Trojan War was clearly a showdown between Indoeuropean Greeks and pre-Indeoeuropean Aegean peoples of the Pelasgo-Tyrsenian macro-ethnicity. Once settled who ruled the region (who got Helen, personifying Hellas in a pseudo-romantic metaphoric sense, which is enhanced by the Eris and the apple of discord mythical narrative), Greece rallied the defeated countries against the Hittites and then (including Teucrian/Trojans, i.e. Tjekker, against Egypt even).
Nice job
I like to think hector was the son of apollo as to why he so heavily supported him
Apollo and hector was loversv
Since today scientists Stil didn’t found out the city Troy 🤔 I’m wondering why
Achilles:dislike this video! 😂😂
Well, he can't complain, he got his video first!
@@WanaxTV hahahaha
Not only did Paris abduct Helen, he and Aineas even stole the royal treasures of sparta. That was reason enough to wage war on the treacherous people of troy.
Go on to happiness!!!!
Achilles and hector vs William Marshall the medieval greatest knight I wonder who would of won
Achilles would beat William on his own wym 😂
@@jedimastermacewindu6930 I doubt that William marshal was a real fighter and achilles is fictional 😆
@@_lux_aeterna_ Most historians agree that the Trojan war actually happened, which means it’s more likely that Achilles was real, and was such a great fighter that people genuine believed he was a demigod and made up legends about him being indestructible.
@@jedimastermacewindu6930 I bet homer is happy now even 2500 years later people are still discussing if his illiad was real and people like Hector and priam and Paris Helen where real or not it was a good story people will belive what they want to belive and that's fine
Hectors life before the war was neber discussed we know
Ese Paris si que era muy atrevido 🤨
❤
Ektor:his father was turkie his mother jewish and he was aldanian.do you like mr soros?......ha ha..
He believe in zeus,he speak greeks and hes family roots came from the greek mythology.he is 100% greek.
Why you speak like this ....I hate when people do that ...be natural
Per family legend (totally fake early modern heraldic nonsense, granted), the distant patrilineal ancestor of my mum. XD
You. Dit not know that Ektor was Ellen kingv of greece Ionian Troy
🤣🤣🤣
Ηector was prince of Troy and Troy was Dardanian.No any greco that time.
Pelasgian-Dardanian-Albanian🇦🇱🇽🇰🇦🇱
His name mean "Steel hand" from Albanian language.
Greek=?🤣🤣
Dardanos was ancient city Of HELLAS
Δάρδανος στα Ελληνικά σημαίνει ότι εκτοξεύει βελος με το χέρι εκ του συσταδην.Δαρδανος ηταν γυιος του ΔΙΑ. Και της Ηλέκτρας θυγατέρας του Άτλαντος από την Αρκαδία. Δάρδανος είναι σημερινό Ελληνικό επίθετο. Δάρδανος Τρώας Ιόνια ΕΛΛΑΣ.
@@user-mw6sw9kh4v
I speak for the Hector...
Dardan was Pelasg and his name came from Pelasgian root or Albanian language:
"D' ar D' an" which mean "That who came from the gold side-generation and scattered all over the world sides."
...as you describe from where he came or born.
Hella-s is in female gender the name Hyll-(Ilo-s...Ylo-s)-" the Star-the Sun"
But from Romans we have "Ylliran-s" and "Yll i ri cum" and none "H-ell-e ni cum"
Pellazgian-Dardanian-Yllirian-Albanian
This narrator is so boring ,great story though
I will work on that. I do everything by myself, from scenario to animation and narration, I try to do my best 👍🏻
It's ok sir ,I just want to say sorry
@@WanaxTV you do a better job than I could do. Keep up the good work
No geek troi is Romania 🇷🇴
I have only heard about hector in Trojan war.. How could u find these other battles hector fought in anatolia 🤣🤣🤣
I am also thinking about this😅
Hector mean "Steel hand" by Albanian language.
Troy was Dardanian.
Pelasgian-Dardanian-Albanian brothers and mean "That who born white"
🇦🇱🇽🇰🇦🇱
Hector has nothing to do with Albania. Nor do the Pelasgians or Dardanians. Albania didn't even exist until Middle Ages.
@@a.blanchard2169 you have right cose in ancient time didn't existed coutries but cities and tribes.
So Albanians came from ancient tribe of Albanoi with Albanopolis city state center in North-Central of today Albania.
Also like Taulantus or Enchelaeus tribes whose were in Illyricum Peninsula(by Romans) and took a part in Troy's war as ally of Troians,Homer book"Iliad"-Strabo 1st century A.D etc.
All this tribes were Pelasgian which populated all that ancient regions and on the basis of the place where they were settled they recevied the names of their ancestors :
Pelasgian-> Yllirian-Dardanian-Epirotan-Thracian
Etruscan-Phrygian-Latin-Hitties..etc
And their first languege was Pelasgian which till today Albanians speaking with some little changes of course.
Troy mean "The Land where i live".
None other language can explain it.
@@a.blanchard2169 Lolol.
You dont know much about Epirus and Etruscans i see.
ΕΚΤΩΡ εις την Ελληνικήν γλώσσα σημαίνει τον θωρακισμένο πολεμιστή. Θωραξ.
