Iliad
what did the balance of zeus say about hectors death
does the death of hector was prophecy?
does the death of hector was prophecy?
"Alas! the gods have lured me on to my destruction. ... death is now indeed exceedingly near at hand and there is no way out of it- for so Zeus and his son Apollo the far-darter have willed it, though heretofore they have been ever ready to protect me. My doom has come upon me; let me not then die ingloriously and without a struggle, but let me first do some great thing that shall be told among men hereafter."
Hector himself cites that his death has been willed by the gods. This was not a prophecy, but rather a removal of protection.
