The Death of Hector

After the death of Hector at the hands of Achilles, Hector’s father, Priam, goes to Achilles to beg for the return of Hector’s corpse, a request that Achilles, having finally exhausted his rage, ends up granting. Also noteworthy is the fact that Helen delivers the final eulogy for Hector.

What goes through Hector’s mind before his combat with Achilles? What bargain does he try to make with Achilles? Why would Homer deliver so much of this climactic scene from Hector’s point of view?

Why is so much of the end of the book taken up with the scenes between Priam and Achilles and with Hector’s funeral?

As usual, use these questions to develop an idea for a response, and use a quote or two from the text in your discussion.
