| Long abstract | Who kills Hector in The Illiad? The easy answer is: Achilles. After all, he was the one who drove his spear through Hector’s neck, who gloried over his dying form, then proceeded to des-ecrate his corpse. But if you read Homer carefully, you see that the death of Hector is in fact a corporate enterprise. We are told shortly after the duel that death and fate seized him and dragged him down. And, even more curiously, we learn that Hector was “struck down at Achilles’ hands by blazing-eyed Athena.” |
