Greek mythology from A to Z:
[P] - Persephone (Περσεφόνη) was a dual deity, since, in addition to presiding over the dead, as the daughter of Demeter, she was also a goddess of fertility. The myth of her abduction by Hades was frequently used to explain the cycle of the seasons.
Menelaus: Fine, but if we die, I'm going to get Odysseus' ghost to teach my ghost how to play the flute, so I can annoy the hell out of your ghost.
Agamemnon: I'll just hire Achilles' ghost to kick your ghost's ass.
Achilles: My ghost won't associate with your ghost.

Look is no one else gonna make a big deal about the fact that in the middle of battle Achilles’ horses stopped in their tracks and started crying over the death of Patroclus?

Because I can’t stop thinking about it.

Greek mythology from A to Z:
[A] - Asclepius (Ἀσκληπιός) was the god of medicine, son of the god Apollo. Asclepius was given to the Centaur Chiron, who raised him and taught him medicine and the healing arts.
