英语词汇hector的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

hector. Why did Hector, Troy’s mightiest, bravest defender in Homer’s Iliad, become a blustering, domineering bully? His name, symbolic for a gallant warrior in early English literature, today means not only a bully, but to bully, torment, or treat in- solently. The change seems to have taken place toward the end of the 17th century when a gang of young bullies, who consid- ered themselves paragons of valiant courage, adopted the hon- orable name “Hectors.” This ruffian band insulted passers-by, broke windows, and became notorious for their bullying, ter- rorizing the streets of London. It is probably from their name that hector and to hector derive, rather than from that of the ex- alted magnanimous Hector, noble in victory and in defeat. Some scholars point out, however, that Hector was represented in medieval drama as boastful and domineering, possibly from the notion that any hero is swashbuckling and blustering. See since hector was a pup.
