Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's invention of the flying machine and Odysseus' enthusiastic adoption of high-risk strategies ('catapults... I must try it on Agamemnon') foreshadows the Doctor's later involvement in Wyatt Earp's violent plan, showing his recurring struggle with enabling violence despite his objections."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's recurring attempts to propose technical solutions (flying machines, Trojan Horse) that are subverted into violent instruments highlights a character continuity in his moral dissonance: his intellect is used to facilitate conflict, a pattern that culminates when he is forced into direct participation in Tombstone.
