i was woken up trying to figure out if zhongli and azhdaha's parallel was similar to pygmalion and galatea or prometheus and athena and the clay men
so let me point out the similarities in all kf them
prometheus:
• a titan who made the clay men and taught humanity fire and was punished for it.
• also very fond of humans
parallel to zhongli:
• when he carved azhdaha from rock
• his love for humanity, which could be the reason for him giving up his gnosis
athena:
•goddess of strategic war
•breathed life into prometheus's clay men, bringing them to life
• goddess of wisdom
parallel to zhongli:
• warrior gods
• gave azhdaha life and eyes
• knowledgeable in all things, gifted by guizhong's puzzle
important to note that athena was an important catalyst in the trojan war, which was a war between the greeks and the trojans, with the meddling of gods.

could be a similarity to ordo favonius against khaenri'ah, when the calamity happened.
now that i think abt it pygmalion and galatea are isnt very likely since pygmalion was just a sculptor and mortal - his ultimate motive was trivial and not something i can imagine zhongli sharing the sentiment of.

theres no point to this thread, im half asleep and it's bothering me so i needed to sort my thoughts.
