- Cain and Abel: Deiphobus has shades of tis towards Paris.
Deiphobus doesn't like Paris, that much is clear. But his behavior does not match what is required of the trope.
Also "is this", "portrayed as this", and "has shades of this" is bad example writing. The entry must explain how the trope fits as though the person has never heard of the work. Even for something as culturally saturated as the Trojan War.

It was very nearly an unintended example since Deiphobus wasn't aware but I'm not sure if it counts. Does it count if they are unaware?

What does the trope say?
- Evil Albino: Kyknos of Kolonae is portrayed as being albino, though granted he is more arrogant than evil.
This trope is not just appearance. The albinism must reflect the workings of the soul; him being albino is not enough.
I politely request that you read tropes before placing them in the list. I had to pull or comment out a few because they were misused.

Thanks for adding the extra title. I didn't know part 2 was out. :)

Added text to The Cassandra. The death of Mnemon is on P. 37-38 of Betrayal Pt. 1, while the riddle-rendering of Cassandra's prophecy is on P. 67 of the same volume.

The names of the Trojan gods are never stated in contrast to the Achaean gods who are sometimes named. With the Trojans we get things like the Storm God but never Zeus, presumably because the Trojans are Hittites yet we see them by their Achaean names. Is there a trope for this? Is it Convention whatever the heck it's called? I'm curious.
