You forgot Atalanta-D. Named after the swift virgin huntress who would only marry the man who could outrun her in a foot race. Hippomenes had to seek the help of the Goddess of Love, Aphrodite for the Golden Apples that ultimately distracted Atalanta enough to allow him to beat her...and then marry her. The Martian moons of Phobos and Deimos. The Greek gods of Fear and Terror. Eris Morn. Eris is the Greek goddess of Chaos and Discord. Also Telemachus helped Odysseus to kill the suitors who had invaded his home, and demanded his wife Penelope marry them because he was presumed dead. (Odysseus was basically a wealthy aristocrat, and so they suitors were mainly after his property and wealth through marriage). Odysseus (known for his intellect and cunning...and thus a favorite of the goddess of military strategy, Athena) arrived home in secret. Realizing that he had no idea what he'd be coming home to (coming home openly ultimately cost Agamemon his life at the hands of his bitter and unfaithful wife Klytemnestra). He disguised himself so that he could survey the situation. Figure out who the suitors were and how strong they were...and whether or not his family was still faithful. Once he figured out that both his son and wife were----Telemachus raged at how the suitors disrespected his father and his property, and Penelope would take apart her weaving each nitght trying to buy time for Odysseus' return and avoid having to marry. Odysseus then reveals his presence to Telemachus...and they plot the deaths of the suitors. The trap would be that they would convince the suitors to agree to a test. Penelope would marry whomever could string Odysseus bow. A bow that only he was strong---and crafty---- enough to do so. This would gather all the suitors in one place to vie for their chance at her hand and wealth. All the suitors try...and fail. Odysseus...who had been moving in and out of their midst as an apparent beggar...asked to try. At first they wanted to refuse him....but then they agreed to let him try. Figuring they'd get a good laugh at of this old beggar's failure. Odysseus successfully strings the bow...and then uses it it along side Telemachus' sword...to slay all of the suitors. Its why the lore quote in the Telemachus-C says [i]'The Wait is Finally Over." [/i] In reference to Telemachus long-frustrated desire to meet out justice to the men who had invaded his home....and his wish for his father's return.
