Hector and Andromache (Iliad)

The love of Hector and Andromache is exemplary.It is a love that is both tested by time and space (the proximity of lovers who are very near each other yet thousand miles separated due to their duties in their country, Troy).It would have been so difficult to see a loved one fight for dear life and it might be so painful to fight for dear life while knowing your loved one is seeing your defeat. A haiku will be a good salutation to a love that is so true.

Yes! indeed being inlove is so difficult especially when seeing in your naked eye the defeat of your love one. Hector and Andromache posseses a true and unconditional love. Andromache in her tried to understand her husband duty,that simply show's her being a brave wife that is willing to take risk not only for her but also for her baby.

In the battle field,
I fight not for my glory
But for my love ones.


I have live to fight,
But I fight not just to kill,
But to save my world.

Fight for one's country,
And love for my family,
Feelings that I scared to show.

Miles that separate,
Circumstances keeps apart,
Be here bring with love.






Hector and Andromache had such many pain over their relationship because Hector has the very important duty for the sake of Troy. Andromache is such brave for taking part sadness and pain in seeing her husband fought with one of the bravest warrior and seeing Hector suffer a lot just to take the Troy in its highest place but sadly Hector fails and it caused for Andromache longing physically, emotionally and spiritually to Hector and it would be forever.
Only few woman would take this part and be brave, even me,I can't take and be brave so as to Andromache.

it is difficult for both lovers to decid what is to be done.Hector truly loves Andromache and can queston it.but in order fo them to protect there mother land, Hector just sacrifice because he both love his land and his wife and for his child.

"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."
-St. Augustine



Truly,there love for each other was really admirable and praiseworthy.Though hector was the mightiest warrior of the Trojan army he still have the devotion for his wife and son.On the other side, Andromache's understanding and great love for Hector made her so brave to face the latter's every battle whether he is defeated or not.Thus, it goes to show that the both of them was just pulling strength in each other to survive and keep on going no matter what and besides their love for each other was proven by Astyanax, their only son whom they truly love and protected.
It was such a great love,bravery,passion and devotion towards each other which i think is no visible in our time.

When you feel true love it is really hard to decide what to do when you are in a very compromising situation.With Hector and Andromache,no doubt what they feel for each other is true love.They both sacrifice for Troy and for their baby even though it is very painful.It is very painful for Hector to sacrifice his love for Andromache and for their son.It is also painful for Andromache to watch Hector die in fighting for Troy with his enemy,Achilles.And to go on without Hector.But she got no choice but to go on not only for herself but for her baby as well.

everlasting love.
Beauty thorn of rose,
surface deep to cause you pain,
beauty blinds the eyes.


An everlasting is rarely be found.
Every woman needs the care and love of his love one. It was so difficult for them to see that you can do nothing but to cry because you cannot help at all. Seeing the defeat of Hector, its so painful to the part of Andromache. Their love is truelove. Hector is a great warrior since he has this heroic code which is to defend her country and his family. He really loves Troy so much.

Definitely true, the love of Hector and Andromache is a model of a true love. Yet, in their situation shows how they love each other so much! That Andromache tried to stop Hector not to fight Achilles. She did that not for a selfish reason, nevertheless because losing Hector is a big lost to the Trojan. Perhaps, every Trojan loves Hector and Andromache is trying to overcome the pain of losing Hector for the sake of their baby and to the people for them to continue in fighting the peace and unity of Troy.

It is not easy to have a husband that is a warrior. Having that kind of husband, worry won't leave you every time he is in war. That's why I'm so impressed with the courage that Andromache show. Even though she's not agreed to let her husband go to war, she still support and respect Hector's decision. In the part of Hector, I was also impressed for his courage. Though it means he will endanger his life, he still fight Achilles in order for the whole Troy to have future. with the courage they both show, I can say that it is really true love.

Yes, we know that being in love is difficult and its true that it is very painful to watch your love one dying especially when your love one is defeated and you have nothing to do to save him\her because as a warrior your responsibility is to protect your country and even you will sacrifice your life. So Andromache has no choice but to understand her husband Hector.

Its difficult for us to think that the man we love is in between his duty and to his love just like what happened to Hector and Andromache.They are facing a challenge that both of them can't refuse.As the wife of Hector,Andromache stay lovable,caring, and brave wife not just for Hector but also for there baby,Astyanax.It's not simple for her to see his love fighting and dying.But behind all those sacrifices and duty for there country,they remain tight and faithful to each other.

being inlove is not easy especially seeing the person you love is fighting for his life and you cannot do something to help him. Andromache tried to be strong even to the point of seeing her husband died. it is very painful on her part because they have a son and she losses her husband.. but it simply shows how brave she is as well as hector..

Its depend on the person wither to use this haiku as a salutation to a love tha is so true because as i observe is not easy to feel in love with someone.And it hurts if you saw your loveone fight.The important is you express your love to your loveone.
Any way back to the haiku term it is a good salutaton to a love that is so true although haiku is a short poem but the imporant there is full of content or meaning and expreesive as for my opinion.

Truly it is difficult and Painful when we saw our love one fighting and being defeated, But on the part of hector and Andromache they really express their love not only of themselves but also to the thousand people of Troy, And it is really amazing!. Andromache is a good model to every woman, because even if she loss hector, but still she is strong enough to face the challenges that they encounter.If we love, we should always ready for every misfortune that will come, because as we walk in these world we have different journey to follow.

the story of Hector and Andromache is a painful one. in the side of Andromache it hurts a lot seeing your husband having a fight and seeing that he died. also in part of Hector it has a great sacrifice with his wife and child just to save his country and protect his countrymen and specially his family.

In the case of hector and Andromache, it was so very difficult to decide whether for the family or for the country to choose.. Hector loved his family so much, but he didn't want to put his country in shame..that is why he fought with Achilles! Hector was a great Hero..

Hector's sacrifice
Leaving his wife and his son

Farewell to his wife
A hard decision to make
Courage that's with him

--Truly, saying goodbye to our love ones is the hardest decision to make like what Hector did. Seeing him died in a battle and for the fact that he will never return was really a painful feeling in which Andromache felt. The love of Hector and Andromache is an example of LOVE that is true and great.--

true, seeing your love one die for you, and for your country is very painful, but being strong after the death of a love one is much more painful. Andromache showed the bravest thing that a lover can do for the sake of her country, baby, and much more, to Hector, the love of her life.

This i made a haiku of a love between Hector and Andromache that was ended because of a duty that must be fulfilled. Hector had chosen to sacrifice and knowing that his defeat is clearly seen by his loved one, Andromache. And to her, even seeing his fall, she must accept what had Hector told her and it is what she should face.

It's really hard to see your love one dying and you can't do something to help him. As what Andromache felt when Hector is killed by Achilles and she can't do something to help her husband but to cry.
They really love each other but Hector also love his country so he fought to Achilles to save them but he failed.
Andromache understand the duty and responsibility of her husband to defend their country and she can't stop Hector to do his responsibility. All she can do is to hope and pray that her husband will be save in every battle that he will encounter.

There love is very admirable and unconditional.

Well, Everything happens for a reason. Hector, because of his duty had to go and fight for the good of his country and men. Andromache, on the other hand, left with fear and doubts in her heart that hector on his fight might lose his life and left them- his family. What hector has done is just a matter of love and bravery.Hector himself portrays what really a true hero is.

Love? Though felt it everywhere but i really don't know about it.I did felt infatuation but not love. The love im talking in here is between man and woman of course. But though ignorant of it, yet not innocent i have opinion about it too specially in the case of Hector and Andromache. When Hector held his son and raise him up praying to Zeus to protect the child, i shamelessly cried (to think im in the reference section). The knowledge that his son will be killed at the end, ache my heart. When the Troy was at last on fire and that Astyanax was taken from his mother to be thrown in the wall as the last sacrifice, i pity Andromache to the max. She had enough with her family's death and of her husband, but his son!

Hector and Andromache's last conversation in the wall show the love the bloomed between them in their whole marriage life. The known death of Hector tore her heart, but its just more hard to know that she cant even do something about it even if she begs. Duties and responsibilities lead to Hector's death. And the most painful of all, Andromache watched as Achilless without mercy kill her husband. What a grieving hear she had that day, but she have to be strong even if she lost everything.
Life is not always fair. But the experiences we had whether good or bad make us a better person.

Yes, it is really difficult being inlove especially with a great warrior like Hector. It was very difficult for Andromache to see his husband fighting also with a great warrior. No woman would be able to survive seeing your love one fight for his life and honor, but Andromache survived that tragic incident just for there son. I'm very proud to see a woman so courageous to still stand despite all that happened. Her love for Hector didn't fade after he died.

Torreña, Wella D. said...

It is very painful that you see your love one defeated in battle. Hector and Andromache had such many pain over their relationship because Hector has the very important duty for the sake of Troy. Andromache is such brave for taking part sadness and pain in seeing her husband fought with one of the bravest warrior and seeing Hector suffer a lot just to take the Troy in its highest place but sadly Hector fails and it caused for Andromache longing physically, emotionally and spiritually to Hector and it would eat from a battle.

For Andromache watching the defeat and death of her love will be very painful, but it was also a proud thing because Hector showed his love for this country and family. She even understand the duty of his husband. It is a great sacrifice for her losing his husband and understanding the thing Hector did.

Hector and Andromache's love for each other was truly tested by hurdles [responsibilities, gods and even fate] making them more into their relationship. Seeing someone die whom you love most is no haven, it may entail your lifetime sorrow; for forgetting such would be as hard as moving a mountain. It will be inevitable for Andromache to feel despair and vengeance but still her feelings can't revive Hector's life.
For which, my deep sympathy to Andromache lies. It is not easy to accept hideous happenings such as the brutal death of her husband.
But I think in the part of Andromache's personality[strong- willed] she will always overcome the situation if she will let her mind be guided by the thought that her husband [Hector] died because of bravery and for his country, the best act that a husband could offer his wife and even to his countrymen.
The death of her most beloved Hector was still her pride.

A love that is true
would maybe last forever.
Even though it hurts
to see your love one dying.

To save the country,
a responsibility.
Doing his duty,
has a big difficulties.

For me, the love of Hector and Andromache for each other will be unconditional. Even though Hector stands with his duty as a prince he never forget about his wife. Dying for the one you love will always be immeasurable.

For Andromache, it will always painful but she will be happy knowing his man died with glory.

Hector really gave his true love to Andromache. .And yet they always do things right in order to avoid conflict. .They helped each other as husband and wife.

We are miles apart
You are always in my heart
I will love you much

All the pain I gain
My love for you will remain
And it will not end

In the deepiest sea
You're face is all I can see
It is YOU and ME !!

During my battle
I always think my country,
And the girl I've loved

I'll kill enemies,
Not only for my glory
Only for my love.

It is really painful for the girl, that the one she love is fighting and were killed in front of her, and of there thousand army. But she had to accept the reality that the journey of her love is to be defeated by someone who is stronger than him.

Indeed,so true that it is very difficult to see your loved one being defeated and the cause of his death was to protect his loved one too.
Truely, Hector and andromache really loved each other.Hector being gifted with skills, and in his prowess awaits a lot of duties and responsibilities to take care of.being a wife, Andromache gives her full support and understanding about Hector's destined role in the kingdom.In the end hector's willingness to die defending thier kingdom and his loved one in thier will most matter than die together with them doing nothing,.

Hector's last fight,said to Achilles

“ "Alas! the gods have lured me on to my destruction. ... death is now indeed exceedingly near at hand and there is no way out of it- for so Zeus and his son Apollo the far-darter have willed it, though heretofore they have been ever ready to protect me. My doom has come upon me; let me not then die ingloriously and without a struggle, but let me first do some great thing that shall be told among men hereafter.

Hector is a prince.Hector knows that Troy and the house of Priam are doomed to fall and that the gloomy fate of his wife and infant son will be to die or go into slavery in a foreign land. With understanding, compassion, and tenderness he explains that he cannot personally refuse to fight, and comforts her with the idea that no one can take him until it is his time to go.
The greatest fighter in tTroy. The leader and the allies in the defence of troy. hectr was courageous,for his noble and country.A thoughtfu and a good son, husband and father and totally without dark motives.

These couple really strikes my heart, who could forget the parting scene of them,(Andromache carrying their child while Hector telling goodbyes).
That scene did an impact to the audience, with teary eyes & frown on their face.For their love is so true and too bad Hector died later that moment.
Indeed,their love is very inspiring though Hector didn't live longer unlike Andromache,still Andromache holds on to the idea that her husband love them so much,and she should understand that her husband is a warrior that has pride and honor to fight for even if its life is at risk.

I do love you so
Though I know it's not easy
But still I do

It really hurts me
Seeing you do suffering
And can't do nothing

The reason I live
Is loving you tenderly
That makes me happy

Fight, not for the prize,
but fight for the one you love,
and you may not lose.

Painful it might be,
seeing them fighting for you,
That's love that so true.

“ Only he can understand what a farm is, what a country is, who shall have sacrificed part of himself to his farm or country, fought to save it, struggled to make it beautiful. Only then will the love of farm or country fill his heart. “ -Antoine De Saint-Exupery

Hector is one of this example because he know his country(troy) he is willing to sacrifice himself to save and to defend Troy ,and also to fight for his family.Because of this Andromache understand the situation.

Distance relationship is very hard, but it is more hard if the of you are so near but yet so far especially if both you saw the safering of each other.
It is hard to fall in love to a person who have lots of responsibilities like what Andromache felt.

It is between love and responsibility

Hard to choice!!!!

for me, when true love feels, it is very difficult for a lovers to decide when you are dealing with the situation. Hector loves Andromache very much but Hector has an important duty, and in order to protect troy and his family, hector sacrifice coz he love his motherland and family especially his wife and his son.
the love of hector and Andromache is an example of a true and everlasting love..

Andromache is a great wife. She understand his husband, even though it is hard for her. I can say that it's not easy to be Andromache, it is painful in her part to see her husband fighting. She really love her husband. Love is not selfish.

Hector and Andromache are both bind with true love and affection,they showed unconditonal love with each other eventhough they had such many pain over their relationship because Hector has a very important duty for the sake of Troy.Andromache is really a great wife for understanding Hector that he has the responsibilities on protect the Troy..It was such a great love,bravery,passion and devotion towards each other which i think is no visible in our time.

Having a great responsibility sometimes is the barrier in a relationship.One's life is in the midst of trials.There are no enough time to spend yourself with your loved one.Hector did his greatest duty for he the great warrior of Troy.

but I have duties to do
and still I love you!

I can't say what's next

__True love may last even at least for a lifetime. for Hector and Andromache, love for them may not be forever, yet their love and trust for each other will remain until their last breath.
