eager to improve the bloodlines
of my rather...

HectorPoiseidon's waters roil and roar
Up and down the craggy coast;
Their winedark waves have brought the host
Of foreign men all drunk for glory,
For the sake of one man's vanity
They traveled to your alien shore
To write with blood and bone a story
Of the Gods' capriciousness towards men,
Of...

HectorNot for glory, even honors sake
He fights for his family, wife and son at the gate
Greeks attack, they push us back
Hector must now lead the counter-attack
Hector!
Tamer of horses
Holding fast
Prince of troy

Duel “the Trojan’s head shall be mine”
To a stand still,...

And gods and monsters roamed the land,
There was a mighty warrior known throughout the realm
As the greatest of them all, a man of might and courage,
His name was Hector, son of Priam, king of Troy
And leader of...

Hector Loves his QuietudeThe prison cell was the best place Hector had ever lived
He relished his solitude
He had never had silence in a foster home or a group home
Hector was at peace
Glad to be here
Grateful for this quietude
Then he got a roommate...
