(Medieval Virtue for Modern Men, pt 1: Hector)
Today we begin our series on the Nine Worthies by looking at the life and death of Hector, one of the heroes from Homer's Iliad.
Why would Hector get added to the list of the Nine Worthies, but not Achilles? Watch today's video to find out, and discover what the surprising lessons of Hector's story can teach you.

"A man is so often measured by his strength. But a man's virtue is measured by how he uses his strength, and who and what he uses it for."

"Whoever does not love remains in death...The way we came to know love was that He laid down his life for us; so we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers...Children, let us love not in word or speech but in deed and truth" (1 John 3:14-18).
very appropriate scripture reference for this video, thanks for sharing 🙌🙏
This is going to be a great series thank you for doing this! When I first read the Iliad I related to and wanted to emulate a Hector rather than an Achilles who seems to me to be a petulant, self -indulgent and cruel man. I like how nobly Hector fought, and faced sure death with honor. I see him as a Christ like figure, sacrificial in how he used his strength as a man for the good of others.
Thanks Mike! That's an interesting point angle to view Hector's story from, appreciate you bringing that up. Are there any other aspects in which you see him as a Christ-like figure?
Absolutely magnificent. Thank you!
Sure thing Jay, thank you! 🙌
This made me cry it was so good...
Hey Isaiah, happy to know it resonates with you. Thanks for sharing that 🙏
Honestly I am searching for virtue for who I am. This is something that I should keep in my mind and contemplate. Thank you for this video!
That's a valiant quest, Jacob. Glad to hear this video offers some insight as you set out on your journey. Keep doing what you're doing and thanks for your feedback!
Knocked it out of the park boys. For the quality of your work you massively underrated. I hope you grow into the subscriber base you truly deserve.
Love from Malta
Thanks so much Andrew, really appreciate your comment. The encouragement means a ton and comments like these help us keep working hard to grow this thing!
On a personal level, I (Evan) am thrilled to hear we've got a fan in Malta! Incredible country I have much respect for and hope to visit soon; the amount of history per square km is inspiring.
Sending best regards right back at you from Italy (Evan) and the States (Josh) 🇲🇹🇮🇹🇺🇸
Do not forget to include the authority which comes with taking responsibility. This side of the coin is rarely mentioned by our ilk.
Good point 👆 Thanks for adding that in!
Really well done.
Thanks Collin, glad you enjoyed it 🙌
Woah man that was phenomenal! Keep doing it
thanks so much Andy!! Glad you're enjoying it so far 💪💪
We can't calculate how ancient Homer is, the Iliad and Odyssey contain pre-cataclysmic knowledge ,still his work is a masterpiece that remains unmatched (at least in greek and ancient greek)
Absolutely! And while they're still amazing in translation, everyone who can read them in the original Greek says they're even more formidable than we can fathom...They're true masterpieces which have endured thousands of years, and for good reason ⚔️💪
Salute
Really great :) Will you cover the other 8 Worthies?
Ok first thing I like the message you're trying to put out there however you did it in a false way (and by doing that you can lose all the meaning in behind your said message by doing so ) Achilleus (aka Achilles) actually did like and respect his men (he did in fact fight for thing's like any other king he was a King too After all) (King of mermaidens) it's known Ajax respected and like Achilleus (aka Achilles) and that was mutual same with his men Achilleus always said his men we're the greatest of all the warriors (you don't compliment ppl you don't respect. Another misleading thing you left out was Hector was Afraid to die and supposedly even ran away from Achilleus (aka Achilles) before facing the inevitable fate that was set upon him and for good reason too it's written that when the Greeks got inside there walls they threw Hector baby off the wall and killed his wife and all the other Trojans too (and I'm sure Hector knew that could and would happen if he fell in Battle which he did lots of ppl think Achilleus (aka Achilles) was that way because of (the wrath of Achilles) (the Rage Of Achilles) they even compared it to Zeus (his Wrath) (and Rage) just because you have Rage in Battle don't mean you don't care about anything or anyone look at Achilleus (aka Achilles) bond with Patroclus the Real Achilleus did in Fact fight for thing's and his men like all other ancient kings did and he did in fact care about ppl too. I'll Leave my comment at that for now.
