In the Old Testament,  Jacob also received a leg would while battling an angel. So it might be partially related to that.

 

Ooh yes, thanks, I didn't think about that

No

The Dark One alone was bound at the beginning of time, then when the bore was opened in the Age of Legends, the Forsaken joined him. Then Lews Therin and the Hundred Companion sealed The Dark One and the Forsaken.

The character that is often related to Perrin is Thor, but I don't believe that Thor is wounded in the leg.  Hephaestus, the Greek blacksmith god, (as well as his Roman counterpart, Vulcan) is lame.  This lameness is sometimes attributed to a birth defect while other times it is associated with a fall from heaven/olympus due to some type of dispute with Hera and/or Zeus

 

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense!

...what wound was that exactly?

 

The wound he got in his leg from fighting Slayer in T'A'R

I was reading Brandon Sanderson's Wheel of Time retrospective, and he mentioned that Perrin's wound was "mythologically significant"

thoughts?
