The power of fate.

Explanation:

This excerpt most clearly illustrates the power of fate. In these liens, we learn that an old man told something to Hektor. The man tells the hero to avoid waiting for the attack of a man alone, away from the others. This recommendation is intended to help Hektor encounter his destiny in the right way. This shows that the old man (and probably most Greeks at the time) believe in the power of fate.
