Hector

When his brother Paris kidnapped the beautiful Helena from Sparta, the Trojan War began. Hector was at the head of the Trojan armies, where he stood out for his strength, charisma and courage. Paris, on the other hand, was almost absent from the fighting, embarrassing Hector and all the Trojans.

The fighting dragged on, and both sides gradually came to believe that neither army was capable of winning the war, so let the rulers settle their differences themselves. So Paris challenged Menelaus to a duel. But as soon as Meneláos raised his spear, Paris cowardly fled. Hector forced him to fight, but Paris succumbed to Meneláos. Subsequently, the war flared up again as the defeated Paris refused to hand over Helen.

The fearless Achilles, among others, fought on the side of the Greeks. But one day, because of a dispute with Agamemnon, he decided to leave the fight. Hector took advantage of this dispute and with his warriors pushed the Greeks to their ships, intending to burn them all. Achilles' friend Patroclus tried to prevent this, and put on the armour of Achilles to intimidate the Trojans. Hector, however, saw through his disguise and challenged Patroclus to a duel, in which he killed him. This act angered Achilles, who returned to the war and pushed the Trojans back into the city. There, Hector challenged Achilles to a fight to the death. In this evenly matched battle, Achilles eventually prevailed, and he further dishonored the body of the dead Hector by dragging it around the Trojan walls.

The whole war ended with the construction of the so-called Trojan Horse, with the help of which the Greeks secretly entered Troy and eventually destroyed the entire city. All the Trojans were killed in the ensuing battle.
