Fate is crucial in The Iliad, with characters often struggling against predestined outcomes. In Dune, Paul is haunted by visions of the future, highlighting the theme of prophecy.

By drawing on the legacy of the Atreides from Greek mythology, Frank Herbert imbues his characters and story with a sense of epic gravity and connects the futuristic saga of Dune to ancient themes of heroism, fate, and the burdens of leadership.
