In Greek mythology, Hector, the eldest son of Hecuba and Priam and the husband of Andromache, led the Trojan forces in the Trojan War. Hector is a main character of Homer's Iliad, which depicts him as a noble, compassionate, and brave warrior. In the tenth year of the war Hector killed Patroclus, whose friend Achilles swore to avenge him.

The Trojans burned Hector's body with great honor after 9 days of mourning.
