Priam and the Queen are both defending kingdoms under siege. To what extent do you agree?

Are you referring to Hecuba? Primary wife of Priam and mother of Hector, Hecuba represents a traditionally feminine role in Greek mythology. She is described as caring greatly about the death of Hector, mourning and sobbing for several days. When Priam confronts her about what to do, she can remember every single detail about every single child, while at times, Priam can hardly differentiate between them. She is motherly, caring, understanding, but not forgiving. She carries a deep and unresolvable resentment for Achilles. Both Priam and Hecuba represent the soul of the kingdom: the masculine and the feminine.
