so, canonically, the mythical figure achilles is important enough to bill that he remembers him and references him in witty banter.
what is the funniest possible reason for this? (i do not care about realism)
*as in that stuff in journal 3 where ford's like 'if icarus could see me now' after finding out about bill. i know these two myths are not related I have a degree in ancient mediterranean history. something to be said about ancient greek myths where the protagonist has a fatal flaw that brings about their downfall though. but it's probably not that deep.
