[Opinions] Re: Aslan and Achilles?
in reply to a message by Darkest
Aslan is too Narnia imo. I actually dislike the books, so I may be a bit biased.
Achilles is too well known to be taken seriously.
If you like the Greek warrior idea..
Evander: In Roman mythology, Evander was a hero who brought the pantheon, laws and alphabet to Rome before the Trojan War. Evander was born to Mercury and Carmenta, and his wisdom was beyond that of all Arcadians.
Aeneas: The hero of the Roman poet Virgil's epic Aeneid. Aeneas, the Trojan son of Anchises and Venus, wandered for years after escaping from the ruined city of Troy.
Damon: The legend of Damon and Pythias symbolises friendship amd loyalty.
Hector: Hero of Troy in the Iliad.

I'm not a huge fan of the Christian tone of the books, but I enjoyed the books themselves as a child.
I like the names more for the sound than for anything else. I'd never use them. :)
