My Favorite Greek Thinker

My favorite Greek thinker would be Plato.He was a fomous greek philosipher.He learned from the Western thought civilization.He is my favorite also because he has a cave named after himself . Also he encourages us to think intellegently of ourselves.I think it is important to remember that ,so that is why he is my favorite greek thinker.

Hector

I believe Hector did the right thing by figthing Achilles.I think the reason that Hector accepted Achilles challenge was because he wanted to save his country.I wuold have done the same for my country because there would be less people dying and I would have saved the whole town instead of just one person suviving.This is why I believe Hector did the right thing by accepting Achilles's challenge .This shows he was a caring person and was responsible.
