When I was an undergraduate, oh so many years ago, I wrote what, at the time, I considered to be my most original paper for a class (i.e., I had not read anything like it before). In the paper, I compared Freud's three components of the psyche with Plato's three components of the "Republic" (i.e., the artisans, warriors and Philosopher-King... as I recall). The similarities were quite compelling. But I'm not sure if there is any direct link or if the similarities were a coincidence with most general structures of triads. I would suspect that it was an illusory relationship.
