Hector is said to have run around the walls of Troy three times in Homer's "Iliad." This event occurs during his duel with Achilles, as Hector attempts to evade him. The chase around the walls symbolizes Hector's desperation and determination to protect his city and family. Ultimately, however, he is caught and killed by Achilles.

Hector was killed in combat so Andromache was a widow. After Troy lost against the Achaeans, the Achaeans split up the men, women, and children of Troy as their prize. Neoptolemus took Andromache as his prize. He also threw Andromache and Hector's baby son Astyanax over Troy's walls.
