Document Summary

Ask for achilles to protect him from agamemnon if he speaks the truth: when he says agamemnon was the cause, agamemnon insults calchas, agamemnon eventually acquiesces however demands that he have another girl to fill the place. Lash him with your words instead of your sword : nestor= older soldier/ statesman, tried to make peace between the two men. Book 6: wife is andromache begs hector to not go to war, child, astyanax ( lord of the city ) is scared by father"s battle gear. Vengeful (won"t go back to fight until friend dies) Torn between duty and familial love: hector can handle the pain of troy falling but he cannot handel his wife being a slave, this make him want to fight against all odds (fate). Book 22: hector is running away from achilles, aided by apollo. Achilles would rather ride valiantly in battle anyway: use of many epic similes, achilles= wild mountain hawk chasing a dove.
