This page is overlong and needs splitting. It also has a lot of redundant folders with the character sheets for the Iliad and Odyssey. If there are no objections, I'm going to go ahead and consolidate the Homeric cycle's folders away from the general page.

(I am aware that the Iliad only covers a small section of the Trojan debacle, but it's already common practice on the wiki to use a work's character page to hold tropes pertaining to its sequels or side works if continuity is shared and no better "general" name presents itself, so a disclaimer at the top of the page should suffice.)

Question, and it is something that I just realized.

Would Hercules be an Artifact Name, since the name seems to be a Romanization of the Greek name Heracles, which means "glory of Hera?" The Roman goddess, Juno, is syncretized with Hera, but Hercules's name matches more closely with the Greek goddess than the Roman goddess. Logically, Hercules's name should have been Junocles or Juncules, but I guess it doesn't sound catchy.

I know academics don't point it out, but it is something that I noticed when it comes to Hercules's name.

Should we split this page into two different sections?

This page is getting looong, and I think splitting it into two different pages, one for Nature Spirits and Demigods, other for Mortals, may be better

Why is Odysseus listed with the Demigods/Immortals? In his own Badass Normal entry, it clearly states that "Odysseus isn't a demigod". Looking into it, his parents are mortals, with his only connection to divinity being that his maternal great-grandfather in Hermes. Figures that far removed aren't typically considered divine.

Is there a source to verify that Heracles took a liking to weaving when he was enslaved, like the article says he did? It'd be an interesting thing to include in a project I've been working on, but I can't find mention of him LIKING the work he did anywhere but on this site.

Shouldn't satyrs and nymphs go in the minor deities page?

I think monsters fit more. But that might be just impression from playing too much video games.

Alternative Character Interpretation: Hercules was brain-damaged/on hallucinogens. Hera's nightmare which resulted in him killing his wife and child? Hallucination.
