John Torres "Illiad Book 1 and 22"

The story about the death of Hector (Book 22) caught my attention. I have seen the movie "Troy" which is obviously very different than the story of Hector's death but, was similar in that both stories discuss elements of the Trojan War. The main difference that I noticed was the use and interference of the gods in Book 22 than compared to that in "Troy". Book 22 makes the fight between Hector and Achilles more epic and impact full because the way it is described. It was also interesting to see how in the end Hector is killed for being brave and fighting an opponent in Achilles whom he knows is a great warrior. He is punished by the gods for not acting in a noble way but then is killed for being braved.
