The parallelisms in the wording of the Homeric Hymn to Demeter and the Iliad highlight the parallelisms between Dēmophōn and Achilles as heroes who are linked with festivals. Just as the tīmē, ‘honor’, of the hero Dēmophōn takes the form of a seasonally recurring athletic event that is aphthitos, ‘unwilting’ (Hymn to Demeter 261, 263), because it will last forever, eternally recycled at the festival of the Eleusinian Games, so also the kleos, ‘glory’, of the hero Achilles takes the form of a seasonally recurring poetic event that is aphthiton, ‘unwilting’ (Iliad 9.413), because it too will last forever, eternally recycled in the context of a festival like the Panathenaia.
