Certainly the tale of Mars, Romuls, and Remus, lends a lot to "The
Tale of the Boy Called Frog." I don't know whether or not
Andre-Druissi first came up with this bizarre derivation for
"Spring Wind," but Wolfe didn't need to make it up. "Spring Wind"
refers to a completely different deity. I believe that Wolfe
intends this connection. He certainly alludes to it in UotNS, and
there may be a connection with "The Tale of the Master and His
Student," you know, <i>Thesis</i>.</blockquote>

I think he does intend a connection. It is not for nothing that the
Student's end is so similar to Typhon's. He goes tumbling from his
tower after Our Hero's return.<br>
