==Description==
Hector is described by the sixth-century Christian chronicler [[John Malalas]] in his account of the ''Chronography'' as "dark-skinned, tall, very stoutly built, strong, good nose, wooly-haired, good beard, squinting, speech defect, noble, fearsome warrior, deep-voiced".<ref>[[John Malalas|Malalas]], ''Chronography'' [https://topostext.org/work/793#5.105 5.105].</ref> Meanwhile, in the account attributed to the legendary Trojan priest and author [[Dares Phrygius]], he is described as "... [speaking] with a slight lisp. His complexion was fair, his hair curly. His eyes would blink attractively. His movements were swift. His face, with its beard, was noble. He was handsome, fierce, and high-spirited, merciful to the citizens, and deserving of love".<ref>[[Dares Phrygius]], ''History of the Fall of Troy'' [https://www.theoi.com/Text/DaresPhrygius.html 12].</ref> Greek author and poet [[Homer]] portrayed Hector as "peace-loving, thoughtful, as well as bold, a good son, husband and father, and without darker motives."{{Citation needed|date=December 2023}}
