Achilles - A half-divine hero, son of the
sea nymph Thetis and king Peleus of Thessaly. As the legend states he was
educated by the wise centaur named Cheiron. Achilles was described as very
handsome/beautiful but as well as emotional. It was said that he was immortal
as his own mother dipped him into the river Styx when he was a baby. The river was running a holy water, by
dipping Achilles into it holding him by the heel made his whole body immortal
except little spot on his foot.

stepsister Anastasia and Drizella as well as her stepmother Lady Termaine.
Cinderella was being silenced all the time by Lady Termaine to make sure that
Cinderella’s chores are as best and done without her speaking out. Young girls
only friends were the mice, birds, Bruno the dog and Major the horse.
Circe ‘KIRKE’- Was a
goddess pharmakeia (sorceress or a witch) who lived with her nymph attendants
on the mythical island of Aiaia. Circe was very skilled in many types of magic
although her main abilities involved in metamorphosis, the dark art of
necromancy and the power of illusion. When Odysseus (one of the Trojan
warriors) landed on her island she transformed all of his men into animals, but
with the help of the god Hermes, he overcame the goddess and made her release
the spell from his army.

satisfactory progress losing his faith and his idealism. In the frustration he
becomes a black-magic sorcerer and summons the Devil himself. The demon

worldly pleasures in exchange to receiving Faust’s soul.
Orpheus - He was the greatest of all
musicians, he sang wide variety of songs. Once he sang high-pitched songs about
the creation of the world. Other times he would be playing low notes on his
lyre as he sang of the battles of Zeus and the Olympians gods who were the ones
who clashed against the Titans. He even had songs which were about people who
were transformed to birds or flowers, whenever he sang, the clear rich words
and the silvery notes from his great harp were so enchanting that they always
had a magical effect to everything and everyone that surrounded him. His songs
could charm things as rocks, rivers or even humans and animals. When he was
playing at the forest the oak trees pulled their roots up and followed him down
the mountainside and planted themselves by the seashore where he ended his
song.
