Essay / Research Paper Abstract
5 pages in length. The premise of Homer’s "The Iliad" is that of a petty quarrel Achilles allows to get out of hand, nearly destroying all opportunity for the Greeks to defeat the Trojans, as well as arrive back home safely after the
battle. This childish action puts to question whether Achilles was truly a hero who properly exercised his power, for he risked not only his own life by permitting himself to get out of control, but also the lives of each and every person who fought in battle. Hector, like Achilles, was
determined and forthright in battle. Attitudes of both men depict that of destruction, both mentally and physically, but it was Hector who was deemed the true hero of the Trojan War. Unlike Achilles, Hector chose his battles more carefully, rather than going headlong into whatever killing spree was most opportune at the moment. A hero does not
take chances with other people’s lives; rather, his goal is to save as many as he can. If his own life is destroyed in the process, then that establishes him as even more of a hero. The writer compares and contrasts Achilles with Hector. No additional sources cited.
