Question

from the iliad of homer
translated by richard lattimore
book twenty - two
so along the city the trojans, who had run like fawns, dried
the sweat off from their bodies and drank and slaked their thirst, leaning
along the magnificent battlements meanwhile the achaians
slipping their shields across their shoulders came close to the rampart
but his deadly fate held hektor shackled, so that he stood fast
in front of lion and the skaian gates. now phoibos
apollo spoke aloud to peleion: \why, son of peleus,
do you keep after me in the speed of your feet, being mortal
while i am an immortal god? even yet you have not
seen that i am a god, but strain after me in your fury
now hard fighting with the trojans whom you stampeded means nothing
to you they are crowded in the city, but you bent away here
you will never kill me i am not one who is fated \
deeply vexed achilleus of the swift feet spoke to him:
\you have balked me, striker from afar, most malignant of all gods,
when you turned me here away from the rampart, else many trojans
would have caught the soil in their teeth before they got back into lion
now you have robbed me of great glory, and rescued these people
lightly, since you have no retribution to fear hereafter
else i would punish you, if only the strength were in me \
he spoke, and stalked away against the city, with high thoughts
in mind, and in tearing speed, like a racehorse with his chariot.
who runs lightly as he pulls the chariot over the flat land
such was the action of achilleus in feet and quick knees
how are hektors mother and father similar in the iliad of homer?
both urge hektor to be cautious
both express frustration with politics
both offer sympathy to greeks
both encourage hektor to confront achilleus

Explanation:

In The Iliad, Hektor's parents, King Priam and Queen Hecuba, are deeply concerned for their son's safety. They both urge him to be cautious in the face of Achilleus, a nearly invincible warrior. Their actions stem from parental love and a desire to protect their child from certain doom. The other options are incorrect: there's no indication of political frustration (they focus on Hektor's safety), no sympathy for Greeks (they're Trojans), and they don't encourage confrontation (they want him safe).

Answer:

Both urge Hektor to be cautious
