Read the excerpt from The Iliad of Homer. Deeply troubled [Hektor] spoke to his own great-hearted spirit: "Ah me! If I go now inside the wall and the gateway, Poulydamas will be first to put a reproach upon me, since he tried to make me lead the Trojans inside the city on that accursed night when brilliant Achilleus rose up, and I would not obey him, but that would have been far better. Now, since by my own recklessness I have ruined my people . . ." What does Hektor’s perspective reveal?
