 The final stage of the mourning process occurs in "Iliad" 24 in the formal, communal grieving ("thrēnos") upon the return of Hector's body (24.703–804).In "Iliad" 22, Andromache is portrayed as the perfect wife, weaving a cloak for her husband in the innermost chambers of the house and preparing a bath in anticipation of his return from battle (22.440-6).Here she is carrying out an action Hector had ordered her to perform during their conversation in "Iliad" 6 (6.490-92), and this obedience is another display of womanly virtue in Homer's eyes.
