Welcome to episode 3! In this episode, we meet the great Trojan hero from the Trojan War, Hector, in his moment of decision. Will he choose to fight the Greek hero Achilles? Or does he take the easy route out? We examine his soliloquy in Iliad 22.99-115. It's not easy being a hero! Homer. Iliad. Trans. Anthony Verity. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2011.
