: If you read the Illiad, Hector was on the side of the trojans, who are
: automatically the bad guys because the winners of that war in history
: wrote them as such. Hector is a villain-by-default thanks to
: protagonist-centered morality.

That may be so, but I've never been a fan of that trope. :U (Also I find "Hector -> Roland" more satisfying/logical a progression than "dude who may have taken Durendal off his opponent's corpse, then suddenly the next known incarnation of the Eternal Hero owns Durendal more legitimately")
