Question

In The Iliad, one reason Hector can be considered an epic hero is because he.

a. conveys a message.
b. creates the plot conflict.
c. is a compelling speaker.
d. interacts with other characters.

Answer 1

Homer compares heroism with courage in Iliad that it outweighs even loyalty and honesty. For this specific personality trait, Hector is more heroic than Achilles himself. Both of them are leaders, but the former is the man of action. His qualities give this message in the epic. The correct answer is A.

Answer 2

I just read this you answer would be A. because if you think about it if he created the conflict he would not be a hero and the other two don't make sense
