Admittedly, I'm not much of a scholar on the topic other than gen-ed classes on it. I appreciate your take. Both Holmes and Odysseus are frequently at odds with their ostensible superiors, who try to assert control over both. However, both characters confirm that they're basically on another level from the "normies" and do whatever the hell they want, consequences be damned. That's an interesting archetype -- be so good that others can't control you. (Although it might actually be better described as hubris than a valid career positioning strategy.)
