explanations for parallels come from here and here
I know I spelt pelleamena wrong and missed off juno zeta btw but it was getting a bit crowded. I could also probably extrapolate more but it can stay like this for now
EDIT: BITS WOT I FORGOT AND ADDITIONS FROM TAGS:
@mayasaura makes a fantastic point about the treatment of gideon’s body by BOE being almost identical to the treatment of hector’s by achilles, down to animals refusing to touch it and it not rotting or tearing because of divine intervention. hence there should be a light blue line between gideon and hector. this hadn’t ocurred to me is and is v cool, here is their post on it (the original asker’s point about harrow and priam is also v good)
@iamanoccasionaldoodler points out that Pyrrha is named after Achilles directly, given the ‘Achilles taking the name of Pyrrha while on Skyros avoiding the war’ thing; I did just forget to draw the line here sorry lol it was in my post! also the tags about camilla and hector… no you’re right. they feel so similar, there has to be something.
@zombified-queer mentions I left out dios apate; bugger it, so I did lmao. I was focusing mostly on characters but that’s such a big one! in the iliad it’s the deception of zeus, hera’s plan to distract him by seducing him so that the greeks can regain the upper hand. in harrow the ninth, as we know, it’s… not dissimilar! both times in fact it is very similar!
I did also forget Juno Zeta I know, but as it currently stands I don’t really know if it has any narrative significance…? Maybe.
