Allied with Zeus = allied with wolves, I suppose. Though Boro's explanation looks pretty honest to me.

Actually, right now I find myself more suspicious of the people who think they see hints everywhere - Wilwa, Mac, Nog - than of the people who are supposed to be doing the hinting. Eonwe's alleged hint sounds the most plausible, but in that case, it may just as well be a hint to the village (letting us know to lynch him if he's turned) as to the wolves. Nerwen's is indeed really embedded in the banter, but could still be something - but Boro's looks more like what he says it is than anything else to me.

Allied with Hera would be allied with wolves, not allied with Zeus.

But other than that - as I've said already - I agree with you on finding those who suspect Boro more suspicious than Boro himself. That's one of the "hints" that don't make sense as hints - unlike Nerwen's and Eonwë's which make sense.

But are they enough or should someone be lynched on those? That's another matter (on which I myself need to make a decision rather sooner than later - looking at the clock).
