Trimalchio is an early version of The Great Gatsby

I don't think that there's a character called Trimalchio in Trimalchio, or in The Great Gatsby.

It seems to be some sort of symbol, connected to a character of that name in something called Satyricon by Petronius (AD 27-66). In that text, Trimalchio is a freed slave who has grown wealthy and hosts a lavish banquet; that's an obvious link with Gatsby so I suspect that was the reason for that earlier title.

"Trimachio" is a term coined by F. Scott Fitzgerald in The Great Gatsby to describe Tom Buchanan's masculine traits, including physical strength, wealth, and dominance. It represents the traditional qualities associated with the American upper-class male during the 1920s.
