A proposito di questo titolo

This episode of The Trojan War: Myth, Reality, or Both? shifts focus from the Greek camp to the walls of Troy itself, centering on Hector, the city's greatest defender. Lucas and Luna explore Hector's portrayal in the Iliad as a family man, a reluctant warrior, and a tragic figure whose humanity stands in contrast to Achilles' rage. They discuss his relationships with Andromache, Paris, and Priam, and analyze the famous scene where he bids farewell to his wife and son. The conversation also examines Hector's duel with Ajax, his fatal confrontation with Achilles, and the desecration of his body. Finally, they consider archaeological and textual evidence for a historical Hector, including the possible Hittite connection with a figure named Piyamaradu. The episode concludes by asking whether Hector, more than any other character, represents the true cost of war.
