The characters in myth tend to have unique names, personalities, and talents.

Her (cid:271)eaut(cid:455) (cid:272)o(cid:374)te(cid:374)ds (cid:449)ith ve(cid:374)us" (cid:271)eaut(cid:455); it (cid:449)as said that (cid:862)ve(cid:374)us had had a e(cid:272)o(cid:374)d birth(cid:863) Venus was ignored because of the beauty of this girl.
