The Tragedy of Hektor | A Tribute to the Prince of Troy

According to The Heroic Mindset, "the hero is untimely - he represents values, codes of conduct and honor which are no longer shared by his peers." Hektor embodied this completely - a prince who stood as "the manifestation of [the gods'] order against the chaos" when all others faltered. The text states: "A hero thinks to themselves 'my perspective matters dammit! And if there is beauty and truth in the world then I will fight against ugliness and deceit until I build a more beautiful and truthful world.'" This was Hektor's creed as he defended Troy's gates, knowing retreat would mean "the death of his heroic self." The Heroic Mindset declares: "The hero is thus a protector - he upholds the world as it should be." Hektor fulfilled this role utterly, his final stand proving that "the heroic essence is characterized by the primordial truth of mankind" - that some principles are worth dying for. The book reminds us: "They stand in the muck and cry in righteous indignity that the life most mediocre men and women live is not how we are meant to live." Hektor's tragedy was being the last man who understood this truth - a hero who "through his extremity and unrelenting nature makes those of unrelenting cruelty shutter in fear," even as he fell to Achilles' blade. This is why three millennia later, we still say his name. Not for victory, but because The Heroic Mindset reveals: "The hero's extremity and boldness serves as an antidote which saves the world" - and Hektor's sacrifice still saves us from forgetting what true nobility means. -The Heroic Mindset Book Available Now! https://tinyurl.com/theheroicmindset -Join The Heroic Mindset Mailing List https://the-heroic-mindset.b12sites.c... -Follow us on Instagram   / the_heroic_mindset   -Follow us on TikTok   / the_heroic_mindset   -Subscribe to our channel!
