Athena is the god of wisdom and a powerful defender in war and is a peacemaker. She is the daughter of Zues. In the story The Iliad she tries to convince Achillies not to fight. She dresses up as Hector's brother to talk to him, she is on Hector's side and protects him. One thing i learned from research was that Zues swallowed Athena's mother, Metis, while she was pregnant with Athena. Athena was born from Zues's forehead, fully armed. In The Iliad Athena does not show honor, but she made sure that Hector died with Honor.Nestor is the king of Pylos and the oldest and widest Greek leader. He was trying to get peace between Achillies and Agamemnon. In The Iliad Nestor shows that he is powerful and he could take down Agamemnon if he wanted too. One thing i learned from research was that all of Nestor's brothers were murdered by Hercules and he escaped. In The Iliad Nestor shows honor by telling the warriors stories about when he was in the war, to help them fight honorably.
Hector is a Trojan, and Priam was his father. He was worried about dying in the war, he was telling his wife. Achilles killed Hector and brought his body back to the city. He dragged his body all over the city and around his best friend's grave, Protroclus for revenge. Zues protects Hector's body by bribing Achilles with a treasure. I learned from research that many poets described him as the son of god. Hector ties in with Honor because he fought with honor and when the god's got his body back he was buried with honor.
"Behold Hector now-if you ever once rejoiced
to see him striding home, home alive from battle!
He was the greatest joy of Troy and all our people!"
He was the greatest joy of Troy and all our people!"
