Connections to Greek Mythology
Connection#2: I find Zero to be very similiar to Hermes the Messenger of the gods, They are both strong fast and quick around everything.
Connection#3: In Holes Stanley goes out to the desert where Zero had ran to go get him and bring him back, just like in Orpheous and Eurydice, Orpheous goes to the underworld to go get Eurydice back after being sent there from dying from a snake bite.
Connection#4: In Holes there are yellow spotted lizards that run around and will kill people when they are bitten, In some Greek myths there is always a bad animal that kills. Like in Orpheous and Eurydice, Eurydice is bitten by a snake and dies.
