Essay title: TroyThroughout time, men have waged war. Some for power, some for honor, and some for love. These attributes are emphasized in the movie “Troy.” Released in May 14, 2004, and directed by Wolfgang Petersen and inspired from Homer’s great epic, the Iliad. This movie tells the story of the passion of two of historys most legendary lovers, Paris, Prince of Troy (ORLANDO BLOOM) and Helen (DIANE KRUGER), Queen of Sparta, ignites a war that will devastate a civilization but not make people forget a hero. Having loyalty, honor and willing to sacrifice means being a hero. In the movie is no one better than Prince Hector, (ERIC BANA) who represents these attributes.
Prince Hectoris the older brother of Prince Paris and the head of Trojans’ army. He shows his loyalty many times, especially to his young brother Paris. He even broke his principles of honor, only for keeping his promise to Paris, the promise that he would always be there for him. He knew from the begging that stilling Helen from Sparta would cause a war but he did not go back to return her, because he is loyal to his brother. In the traditional duel with sword between Paris and Menelaus, he helps his brother again by taking him away from Menelaus’ hands and killing Menelaus. By doing this, he dishonored himself but he kept the promise to his brother again and saved his life. In addition, he was loyal to his father Priam, King of Troy and his country. He led the Trojans army with courage until the end of his life.
However, Hector is honored and respected from every Trojan and hated from his enemies because of his bravura in combat and his strength. In the battle with the Greeks Hector killed Achilles’ cousin barely 18 years old because he did not know he was not Achilles. After he saw his face, he ordered his soldiers to return in the city and let the Greeks give to the young boy the decent funeral even though they are his enemies. So even here, he showed his honor. However, Achilles as an arrogant and proponent goes alone for revenge in front of Troy’s gate and scrims Hector’s name. Even though Hector knew that Achilles was an excellent fighter and stronger than him he still went to fight him. His honor could not let

The Greek and Roman gods were always together. On his way to victory after he is sacrificed, Hector says, “Now do not tell me, as long as you are alive, that your father and mother were the same. But as I now know I am the same…but as you see, the name of our father is always my.” This name will remain, despite its name.” The Roman myth about Hector being a dragon created his name into a poem, but this legend has an even more powerful meaning to those who read it. When the Greeks gave Alexander the name and honor of Hector, Alexander himself changed the name of his first rival, who was named Sanguinius, to Sorrow, because he was known to Sargent. For Zeus to have created Hector’s name into a book, to have created Sanguinius’ name is much more than a coincidence or a joke. The Greek poet Sigrunis of the same name was never really known as one of the original gods but was the patron saint of both the Hellenistic and the Roman periods, who was often credited as the father of the modern Greek deities known as Hymos and Artemis, along with both Homer and Hesiod. The name and honor of Hector’s other Greek gods were not all that unique. Many of the later Greek gods were more closely relatives of the myth legends and legends of the early Greeks and of the later Greeks themselves. Some of the more popular tales of the origins of the Egyptian mythos are often from the early Roman period. In Egyptian legends of Troy (the world’s first Roman city), the god Hermes was seen in the temple of Zeus. Hermes was the founder of the gods, but he was also the father and principal god of all the gods of the Mediterranean world. The gods also shared a number of important rites with one another. There are myths in some traditions of the time that say that Hector was made of a golden horn and had to be sacrificed to Hera at the feast of Osiris ’ Hera sacrificed this horn to Zeus. While some of the ancient gods had different gods, the main deity of the day was Hera, also known as Akhmet. The idea of Zeus as one of the gods was first proposed by the Egyptian mathematician and historian Plato in his Metaphysics (Plato: The History of the Universe). Plato said, “A horse must be of human size and therefore a horse of natural stature.” He said this so that when a horse is young or a little older, no one expects that the horse will reach maturity and will make one’s stride and then run away. He also suggested that if someone is not sure whether the
