I was looking at a book on Greek Mythology and I noticed some of the
characters are
from Greek myths that I didn't realize, besides Herc and the gods of cause

MELEAGER the mighty was an Agronaut and in the great Canlydonian boar hunt,
he killed the boar with his bare hands.

AUTOLYCUS was a mythical thief; the son of Hermes; an Argonaut; he 'taught'
Heracles (not a misspelled) to wrestle;

IOLAUS was the Charioteer of Heracles; Son of IPHILCLES (Herc brother) and
Automedusa; May have married Megara, former wife of Heracles; Founder of
Iolaea in Sardinia; Helped Herc kill the Hydra and was restored to
youthfulness by Hebe; Was in the Calydonian Boar Hunt; and a Chariot-race
winner in the
Olympic games;

Joxer.... only kidding.

Thought this
was interesting

What's more interesting is what they have done to some of these poor myths.
Should try reading the novels. They are awful to the mythology. Thank the
goddess that Xena can just be written and not formed from some bad myths.
