I do like Hector too; my only recollection of a strong feeling about a character was that I liked Hector.
My memories of the Iliad do get very much confused with other tellings/interpretations, not least from Greek tragedies, but extending up more or less to the present. Lloyd Alexander had a book, The Arkadians, that retold various Greek myths and also elements of the Iliad/Odyssey in a very antiwar way.

That quote is excellent.
