Do most episode names come from literary works?

[intrinsical]

I believe one of the writers mentioned in "After Trek" that episode 7's title "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad" comes from a novel? Epsiode 9's "Into The Forest I Go" is from "Alice in Wonderland". Episode 12's "Vaulting Ambition" is from Macbeth, Act 1, Scene 7.

To me, three samples makes it a pattern. Which makes me wonder what other episodes are named after literary works?

Indeed. Homer's Iliad.

Upcoming we also have another Shakespeare reference - "What's Past is Prologue", from The Tempest, a reference DS9 also used.

'The Wolf Inside' is a book too, but I suspect that was a coincidence rather than a reference.

The Wolf Inside (obviously) refers to wolf in sheep's clothing which is a recurring imagery in literature throughout history and is attributed to the New Testament.
