"I'll sing of gold-crowned, lovely Aphrodite,
Set in the sea, where the wet-gushing west wind
And the soft-foaming, racketing waves bestowed her."
- Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite

And just like Odysseus, Hittites too consulted ghosts for advice and knowledge about the future.
Unlike the homeric heroes, the hittites only allowed the most experienced experts to conduct necromantic rites due to the significant risks involved in raising the dead.

Single combat was no novel concept for Alexander the Great's generals. Homeric precedents inspired them since childhood; ‘noble’ duels between figures like Hector and Achilles, Hector and Ajax or Diomedes and Aeneas motivated commanders to slay leading enemies by their own hand.
