The rhyme is the same, but here we've got the god of all gods making plans for the Trojan Troyan War, while there we have a simple nobleman making plans for a dinner. Mind you, it's not the only such parallel; in fact, much of ''Pan Tadeusz'' is a parody of an 18th-century Polish translation of the ''Iliad''. Interestingly, Mickiewicz is most likely to paraphrase Homer when he's writing about the Tribune. This is no coincidence; for every time the Tribune gets busy in the kitchen, we're in for some epic cooking!
