Finally finished my reread of the iliad!!!! I am… sad
#ough the speeches from andromache hecuba and helen at the end never fail to tug on my heart#I’ve said this before and I’ll repeat it forever#hector is the best character in the iliad#he’s literally never done anything wrong#hea a strong and noble warrior of course#but he’s also a caring son. a loving husband and father. a loyal brother#he always treated helen with kindness#he admonished paris for his actions and even considered returning helen to end the war#he only wanted to protect his city#and unfortunately his sacrifice was in vain#ough#frown :(#the iliad
