Zeroni Vs Hector

422 Words2 Pages

Nelson Mandela once said, “I am the master of fate and the captain of my destiny.” The two people who fit this quote are Hector the Prince of Troy or Hector Zeroni, the one who got away. One is a prince who ignores fate and the other is an average person that was trying to get his life on track. These people are different in many ways but, they are also the same. Let’s compare the two and you can decide who you would be.

Hector, the Prince of Troy, and Hector, the one who got away, are polar opposites. Hector Zeroni was not a fighter however, that is why Hector of Troy was famous. The one who got away had no family, he didn’t know his mother, until the end, and didn’t have a father. The Prince of Troy knew his family; King Priam, Queen Hecuba, Andromache, and Scamandrius. When Hector Zeroni was at Camp Green Lake, he was not smart, he couldn’t spell, read or even do math. Throughout the Trojan War, Hector of Troy was excessively smart and that helped him become such a good leader. Now you understand just who Hector, the Prince of Troy, and Hector, the one who got away, were. …show more content…

Bravery is one of the main characteristics with them. The Prince of Troy did not care that fate said he was going to die in battle and went anyway. The one who got away is brave because like his nickname says he ran away from Camp Green Lake when he was in trouble and succeeded. Fate was not a concern with either of them because, Hector of Troy went into battle anyway. Hector Zeroni did not care that anybody who ran away never made it out to tell their story. One similarity is not so satisfying, this is that they both are thieves. Achilles’ armor was stoles from Patroclus by Hector of Troy. Hector Zeroni stole Clyde Livingston's Sweetfeet and another pair of shoes the next day. These are just a few of the similarities, there are hundreds more that could be

    I feel that Gilgamesh and Achilles were alike in many ways, but were also very different. Both stories take place at different times and places, of course, the reason I say they are alike and different is how Gilgamesh came back a different man. Gilgamesh, part god and part human, did not have immortality just like Achilles. Even though they had escaped death it caught up with their egos. The people did not find Gilgamesh as a fair king.

    Hector is shown to be devoted to this war between the Trojans and Greeks, and shows this when he refuses wine from his mother Hecuba when he first returns to Priam’s palace, telling her that it will only make him weak, and that instead she should go to the temple of Athena and pray that she pity Troy and its people (Book VI, 11. 275-88, pg. 249). Returning back home and making his way to his brother Paris’ house, Hector is completely ready to chastise him, showing his anger towards him as needed for not being out there and fighting in the war he himself caused (VI, 11. 342-47, pg. 251) but rather sitting in his house with his armor and weapons surrounding him. Hector is also given the opportunity to lay with Helen and relax, but instead says “my heart is out there with our fighting men” (VI, 11. 380, pg. 252). This makes it evident that he is a noble man and that his only purpose now is to fight with the Trojans, seeing himself as “One of the best, to fight in Troy’s ranks” (VI, 11.
