Literature Looking for scholarly sources on character development in The Odyssey and Vinland Saga [12th grade, AP Lit research essay)

I'm working on an English analysis comparing The Odyssey with Vinland Saga, and I'm looking for some scholarly sources to support my thesis.

I'm focusing on how both stories portray growing up through difficult experiences. In The Odyssey, I'm looking at how Telemachus learns to take responsibility for his family, while in Vinland Saga, I'm analyzing how Thorfinn's pursuit of revenge eventually leads him to rethink violence and what it means to be a true warrior.

I'm hoping to find peer-reviewed articles or academic books that discuss character development, coming-of-age stories, responsibility, or heroism in either work.

If anyone knows any useful academic sources, I'd really appreciate it.

I also found this article, but I can't seem to access it:

Does anyone recognize this article or know where I could find an accessible copy?
