In the epic, the Iliad, Homer uses many different literary devices to illuminate his character, Hektor, a brave Trojan warrior, by using diction, homeric epithets, and epic similes. The use of these literary devices help you to understand and feel for the character.
Diction is used in the phrase, "All these things are in my mind also, lady; yet I would feel deep shame before the Trojans, and the Trojan women with trailing garments if like a coward I were to shrink aside from fighting," (Homer, 198). Homer uses diction the show how brave Hektor is and why he refuses to retreat from battle. Homer uses the words "deep shame" instead of a word like "humiliation" to emphasize why he does not want to retreat from battle. Homer uses diction again when Hektor, refusing to stay back, states that he has, "learned to be valiant," (Homer, 198). By using the word "valiant", Homer better describes how bold Hektor is. If Homer would have used a word like "strong" instead, it would not have gotten his point across as clearly. Homer also uses homeric epithets.
A homeric epithet is used in the phrase, "Then talk Hektor of the shining helm answered her," (Homer, 196). Homer uses a homeric epithet to describe the importance of Hektor. Since Hektor is of the shining helm, he is assumed by the reader to be royalty and an elite warrior. Hektor is also assumed to be wealthy due to the fact that he has "his own well-established dwelling," (Homer, 196). Homer's use of homeric epithets let you know that Hektor is among the highest ranks of the Trojans. They also let you know that Hektor is very wealthy and well-off. Homer also uses epic similes.
An epic simile is used in the phrase, "As a snake waits for a man by his hole, in the mountains," (Homer, 201). Homer uses an epic simile to make Hektor seem more menacing. By comparing Hektor to a snake, Homer makes him seem more dangerous and intimidating. After Achilleus appears, Hektor's fearlessness and intimidation does not last. Once Achilleus starts chasing him "as when a hawk in the mountains who moves lightest of things flying makes his effortless swoop for a trembling dove," (Homer, 202) Hektor, legs shaking, flees "like a trembling dove," frightened. Homer compares Hektor to a "trembling dove" to make him seem small and powerless. Achilleus, on the other hand, is compared to "a hawk in the mountains" to make him seem more powerful and predatory. Homer's use of an epic simile here makes Hektor seem weak compared to the "brilliant Achilleus," (Homer, 201).
Homer's use of literary devices develop the character of Hektor and help the reader feel for him. They make him seem more like a person, rather than just some character. So overall, Homer's use of diction, homeric epithets, and epic similes make the story much better and much more understandable.
