Hector and Andromache Hector and Andromache A large and beautiful silk embroidery depicting the moment on the battlements of Troy,
when the Trojans' great hero Hector has left the fighting momentarily; his wife Andromache, accompanied by a nurse
and their infant son, Astyanax comes to speak with him and unsuccessfully attempts to persuade him not to return
to battle. "Dearest, your own great strength will be your death" Hector's reply, "The Grecian Swords
and Lances I can bear, But loss of Honor is my only Fear"
