Read the passage from The Iliad. When Hector heard this he was glad, and went about among the Trojan ranks holding his spear by the middle to keep them back, and they all sat down at his bidding . . . Based on the passage, which description best characterizes Hector? He is a supernatural force because he is powerful. He is an archetype because he is vital to the plot. He is a ruthless villain because he is aggressive. He is an epic hero because he is a brave leader.
