Homer tries to establish both of these fighters as individual men by showing their loyalties, their loves and depicting their downfalls with brutal

honesty. Hektor is a man of family. He loves his father, Priam. He fights the war to defend his vain and cowardly brother, Paris, and his country. His deepest love is his wife, Andromakhe and their young son. He sorrowfully says farewell to her and his child, "...do not be too distressed by thoughts of me. You know no man dispatches me into the undergloom against my fate, coward or brave man, ..."(Bk.6 lines 566-7 pg. 157) His honor and destiny pull him away from his wife but he shows regret for having to leave her and orphan their son. Patroklos, too is a man of loyalty and honor. He is unreasonably loyal to Akhilleus and stands by him, despite Akhilleus defecting from the Akhaian army. Patroklos is brought to tears in book fifteen when he walks through the Greek camps
