Hector's attitude to Helen

 

What was Hector's attitude to Helen who the Trojans believed to be at the root of their misfortune and misery?

 

Ans. At the end of war on the first day Diomedes, the greatest Greek hero next to Achilles, caused a havoc. The Trojan wives and daughters came running to Hector when he retrieves from the battlefield. They were all greatly anxious to know about their husbands and fathers. Like a true leader he tried his best to keep their morale high. But he was shocked when he found Paris was flirting with Helen. He soundly rebuked him. Hector however never behaved rudely toward Helen. Not that he was a replica of a medieval knight, always respectful to women, but he was for solid reasons very sympathetic to Helen. In fact she had none to cling in that hostile country. It was only generous Hector in whom Helen found a protector from the bitterness that was playing in the minds of the Trojans from her very presence.
