An Analysis of the Social Role of the Hero in the Iliad by Homer
This paper will analyze the social role of the hero in Book 10 of the Iliad by Homer. By observing Hectors dialogue with Andromache, we can see why he presents a sometimes uncompassionate and cruel response to her pleas to not participate in the war. However, Hector shows a greater social responsibility in defending Troy and his family's honour. By protecting the city of Troy, he protects his wife and child, creating a moral and ethical reason for his 'heroic' stance to take part in the battle.
