Hektor chooses to risk his life and the well-being of his family in order to obtain glory over the Akhaians. Later on during the battle, upon a few occasions, Hektor ignores the advice of his peers and compromises the army’s well-being. Poulydamas, Hektor’s half brother, is ignored twice by Hektor because listening to Pouydamas’ directions would suggest that he has more power than Hektor.
