to what extent does homer present hector as a good leader of the trojans?

  1. hector as effective but bad leader

he can convince them

motivates paris - trying to protect reputation of troy

book 6 with andromache, loving father, wants to fight for troy, selfless

  1. bad leader

he fails to listen to the advice of others

puts his men in danger

tunnelled vision, thinks its about him and achilles, not the rest of thearmy, doesntconsider/acknowledge them

  1. strong leader but typical

strong in leading them

typical: not outstanding, book 6, how every other man would treat women at the start, disregarded them
