Explanation:

The great Greek epic narrative poem "The Illiad" by Homer tells the tales of the Trojan War. Set during the Trojan war, it details the events of the war and the heroic deeds of the characters.

From the passage provided in the question, it shows the scene before Hektor's death at the hands of Achilles. He's been wounded deeply and knows he won't survive. By saying that he does not want to "die without a struggle, inglorious,  but do some big thing first, that men to come shall know of it”, it shows his want/ quest to attain heroic status with his death. This speech shows his desire to die a hero.
