Pardon me if I'm repeating something, but I don't
remember anyone in this discussion mentioning Plato's statement that Hektor =
anax ("king", or "ruler"). It's in the Cratylus 393:
"The "anax" and the "hektor" mean
about the same thing."
Plato's etymologies, of course, are far from
infallible, but it makes you think, and of course Hektor's son, Scamandrius, was
nicknamed "anax of the city" (Astyanax) because his father was
Hektor.
