Hector's wife, Andromache, counted on Hector to be a loving husband and father. Andromache seemed to locate her very identity in Hector's continued existence, for when he died, "there [was] nothing left [for her], no one to turn to" (Iliad, Book VI: 434). Hector was the only family left in Andromache, and Hector's death had a profound impact on Andromache. Hector was also the city's greatest military leader. Without Hector, the Trojan army was still a fearsome force, but it was Hector's leadership that brought the Trojan army to its fullest potential.
