Another thought or two about Troy

Beware of spoilers!

If I'd been Hector, I'd turned back with Helen, thrown her overboard at the pier. If Paris tried to follow, I'd knock him unconscious, and tie him up under ship and head on back to Troy.
I know that's a pretty simple view on the whole matter, but it was just a thought... just a thought.

As for the fight between Hector and Achilles. Hector's family is watching up high, with Helen among them. When Hector's wife, Andromache, can't watch anymore, Helen sits beside her, and hugs her. Hector dies... had I been Andromache I would have grabbed the nearest sword and killed Helen. Seriously! Her husband just died because of Helen and she's sitting there hugging her! Come on!
