Hector! Definitely, Hector. I think this book is actually about Hector and his honor. Even though Achilles evolves the most in this book, I think Hector displays all the qualities if a Tragic Hero, including hubris and ate.
Hmm... for me, it would have to be the role of the gods in human affairs. Their seemingly petty actions could represent any number of things, such as mirroring the psychological struggles of the characters. This mythology more than the other two, I think is representative of one of my favorite quotes: "Man created God in his own image." -Eckhart Tolle

Good question, Chase.
I think it is a expostion on heroic code...every character relates to that in some way or another.
