What if Achilles is K.?

 I guess you could make the case that just about anything that is both real and impossible of attainment could stand for ‘The Castle.’

A person who wanted to change the U.S. Government, for example, might think of the U.S. Capitol as The Castle, and D.C./ Arlington as the village. (Actually, maybe I should seriously look into that, and myself qua villager.)

Another possibility is Sacred Troy, as conceived through the prism of The Iliad, is The Castle. What if Achilles is K.? What if Homer, who can’t, in The Iliad, get into the sacking of Troy as a subject, is K.? (I don't think you could say Odysseus is K.)
