Visually seeing Ulysses connected with Ulysses The First made me realize Jod probably named him that because he brought him back from the dead, JOURNEYED him back from The River (parallel to the ocean), if you will!

LOCKED TOMB CHARACTERS X CLASSICAL REFERENCES

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.

I also realised I forgot Protesilaus, god damn it

I made an obviously TLT themed blog and immediately got messaged by a mental health bot. Guess I'm in the right place then.

So i was looking at @cutetanuki-chan's Anastasia x Alecto art and something hit me like a train!

Jod said Harrow's parents did an actual resurrection by sacrificing the 200. At first I thought the obvious: Harrow is somehow the amalgamation of those 200.

Then, after reading some of ya'll's brainrots here, I though maybe Harrow is the resurrection of The Moon, hence her insane love for The Earth. Would explain her insane necro power too and doesn't fall into the problem that resurrection needs an insane sacrifice to happen and as far as we know that input cannot also be the ouput (aka the 200 cannot become Harrow, they are only the fuel to "resurrect" Harrow).

But then this new train hit me in the head and now I think she might even be a resurrection of Anastasia! THINK ABOUT IT!

They are both insane, so much that the other Lyctors literally called Harrow a second coming of Anastasia

Explains Harrow's extreme necro power and being an absolute natural with necromancy from an impossibly young age

WHAT ELSE explains that Harrow could bypass all the wards of The Locked Tomb?? Sure, she's a genius and a prodigy, but would that alone be enough to bypass things made a Lyctor?? At that age and having studied only from the Drearburh libraries??? Maybe... But Anastasia DESIGNED The Locked Tomb, so OF COURSE her reincarnation could figure out how to break into it!

Anastasia died inside The Locked Tomb, so her remains were on Pluto when Harrow's "resurrection" happened

So much of these books is about love. What if Anastasia loved Alecto and even after her death, after being resurrected 10 000 years later, she still loves her??

And my last point is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

“You remember how the fuck-off great aunts always used to say, Suffer and learn?

If they were right Nonagesimus, how much more can we take until you and me achieve omniscience?” ― Tamsyn Muir, Harrow the Ninth

The Locked Tomb books are works of perfection. Rarely did any piece of media that I consumed given me so much entertainment and such deep feelings as this series. Tamsyn Muir is a writing genius.

I made this just a few chapters into reading Gideon The Ninth, so early that I even switched up their eyes.

I had no idea back then just how far more relevant (and disastrous) this would become later...
