-The Greek god of wine Dinoysus.-The Banshee was a mythological creature of Celtic lore known for it's high pitched scream.-Hell could stem from the Norse afterworld, Hel or from the collected Greek city states known as Hellas.-Sirens were three sisters that sang so sweetly they lured sailors with their call and the sailors then crashed on the rocks-Helen of Troy was so beautiful her abduction by Paris sparked the Trojan War-Lethargic stems from the river Lethe in Hades, a river of forgetfullness.Those are all I know.
