A fun connection between DUNE and the Iliad. Atreides means of the House of Atreus. Atreus's son is Agamemnon. There is an allusion in one of the books that the Atreides/Harkonnen feud dates back to the Trojan War.
"Underground Railroad" was a letdown for me. I had expected an absolute banger, but it turned out to be my least favourite Whitehead. Well, that's life :)
