"average greek myth involves a god turning someone into something else" factoid actualy just statistical error. average greek myth involves 0 gods turning someone into something else. metamorphoses ovid, who lives in exile & writes over 10,000 transformation myths a day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.
another highlight of the odysseus-ajax debate in metamorphoses is when ajax argues that since for so many of odysseus' greatest war feats he had diomedes there to do the grunt work (rhesus, the palladion), diomedes has a greater claim on achilles' kit than odysseus does. and odysseus answers,
"Ajax, who among the Greeks has praise for you and seeks your company? But Diomedes has joined his cause with mine in all his actions; I have his approval, and he can always count on his Ulysses– and that is something, to be singled out, chosen from all the Greeks by Diomedes!"
basically "well if having the HONOUR of being diomedes' bestie is a crime then LLLLLOCK ME UP, mister friendless!!"
