Hector of Troy

Hector confronted Patroclus outside the walls of Troy after Apollo had stunned him. Hector struck Patroclus with a spear through the belly, killing him. He then stripped Achilles' armor from Patroclus's body and wore it himself.

Achilles, seeking revenge for Patroclus, chased Hector around the walls of Troy three times. Hector finally turned to fight but was killed by a spear thrust to the throat. Achilles dragged his body behind his chariot.

Hector led the Trojan army in a massive assault that broke through the Greek wall and reached the ships. He attempted to set fire to the ships, which would have stranded the Greeks in Troy.

Despite his family's pleas, Hector chose to face Achilles alone outside the walls of Troy. He initially ran but later stood his ground, knowing he would likely die, to defend his city and family honor.
