"Troy, ""killing 31,000 Greek fighters,"" offers Hyginus. Hector was known not only for his courage but also for his noble and courtly nature. Indeed, Homer places Hector as peace-loving, thoughtful as well as bold, a good son, husband and father, and without darker motives. However, his familial values conflict greatly with his heroic aspirations in ""The Iliad,"" as he cannot be both the protector of Troy and a father to his child. Hector is ultimately betrayed by the gods when Athena appears disguised as his ally Deiphobus and convinces him to take on Achilles, leading to his death at the"

Later, when Hector has broken through to the ships and the Trojan advance is pressing hard upon them, Thoas advises the Greeks' best warriors to take a stand against Hector and the advancing Trojans in order to allow the rest of the Greek army to retreat to safety.

"Hector In Greek mythology and Roman mythology, Hector (; , ) was a Trojan prince and the greatest fighter for Troy in the Trojan War.

Hector and Penthesilea were portrayed as personifications of the ideals of chivalry. When kneeling before Hector's corpse, Penthesilea promises to avenge his death.

"Hector is another character of Homer's ""Iliad"", he is one of the Trojan princes and a son of Priam. He is a strong warrior, often referred to as ""Man-killing Hector"" or ""Hector of the Shining Helm"" referring to his war helmet, and noted to have many other warrior like qualities. However, Hector also possesses a strong intellect, and has a way with words. He is able to convince his men to stand by him, and rouse his love-struck brother into action. Hector also has a characteristic that one doesn't often see in heroic epics, especially in the face of war."

These events are all according to the will of the gods, who have decreed the fall of Troy, and therefore intend to tempt Achilles back into the war.

Achilles plays a tragic role in ""The Iliad"" brought about by constant de-humanization throughout the epic, having his ""menis"" (wrath) overpower his ""philos"" (love). Heroes in myth often had close but conflicted relationships with the gods. Thus Heracles's name means ""the glory of Hera"", even though he was tormented all his life by Hera, the Queen of the Gods.

According to Pausanias, Agenor was killed by Achilles' son Neoptolemus when the Achaeans were storming Troy through the Trojan Horse ruse.

In Book VIII of the ""Aeneid"", Vulcan (the Roman equivalent of the Greek god Hephaestus) forges a shield for Aeneas before he goes into battle.
