In Eric Rincewind encounters- while time traveling or parallel universe hopping or whatever- a soldier character implied to be a mirror of Rincewind

"- didn't look like a soldier at all. He had the armor, which was tarnished, and he had the helmet, which looked as though its plume had been used as a paintbrush, but he was skinny and had all the military bearing of a weasel. There was something vaguely familiar about his face, though. Rincewind thought it looked quite handsome."

This soldiers name is Lavaeolus - like 'lava' in Latin, to wash... or rinse ("Rinser of winds" is the translation given later in the narrative) As the dialogue goes on Lavaeolus is revealed to be a famed mythical figure mirroring Odysseus

"Lavaeolus was responsible for the fall of Tsort, on account of being so cunning... and then afterward it took him years to get home and he had all sorts of adventures with tempresses and sirens and sensual witches."

Which means Terry is showing us a comparison between Rincewind and Odysseus. Given that they're both characters constantly on long journeys away from danger and on adventures they don't want to be having, I just think that's a very clever and neat way to bend the trope.

Lord Vetenari will look at Vimes and immediately go: "put that man in a situation"

More Sailor Vimes for my depraved personal reasons.

I don't think Rincewind should have learnt magic, but I do think that he should have learnt headology.

After reading most of the Night Watch series of Discworld and Going Postal (my first disc world book), I can’t wait to read Making Money. You mean to tell me that THE Sam Vimes is going to be Moist Von Lipwig’s obstacle? Sam has more than enough anger to snap him on his knee like a twig.
