This is an authorial reference layer, not evidence that DOG events originate or explain real-world traditions. Greek comparisons include Apollo/Python, dynastic betrayal cycles, and Hephaestian prosthetic imagery. Hindu comparisons include the Ashvattha tree, cycles of destruction/renewal, and avatar/descent imagery. Buddhist comparisons include compassion over domination, release of clinging/control, and interdependence. These parallels may inform resonance and craft but should not be treated as literal historical derivation.
Open questions
- Which parallels remain useful enough to retain as deliberate authorial reference rather than accidental resemblance?
