These tales are the super set of thousands of tales across cultures. We have codified the events of each mythological tale. Every tale has 5 major arcs. Each arc has a sequence of events. These events culminate into a major event. Here is the mapping of each character’s quest to the major events in their respective mythological tale.
 

Quest 1: Poirot mirrors 33% of Jason’s quest for Expedition (marginally below threshold of 35%)

Poirot’s desire for Expedition stems from his need to find an elusive person/object. The tale of Jason from Greek mythology is the universal quest for Expedition.
