Hector - Mythology. Greek A great hero of the Trojans (see Trojan War); eldest son of Priam, king of Troy, and of Hecuba; brother of Paris, Helenus, and Cassandra; husband of Andromache; father of Astyanax. Hector has very little mythology except in Homer's Iliad. His death, the violation of his body by Achilles, and his magnificent funeral bring the Iliad to an end. There are references to Hector in Virgil's Aeneid, and Ovid's Metamorphoses.
