Does the trust between Damon and Pythias represent the highest level of trust between human beings?

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damon_(mythology) for the two famous figures in ancient Greek mythology.

The triple-bodied Hecate is a Graeco-Roman goddess associated with magic, sorcery, and crossroads. And it appears that she always holds one or more torches in her hand or hands.

I haven't been able to find a good pic of Hymen, the Greek god of marriage who must be a male, on Flickr.

Pic - Neptune (Poseidon)

Neptune (sort of analogous to Poseidon in Greek mythology) is a Roman god of water and the sea.

Against the backdrop of the lack of modern science, the ancient Roman people associated the sun with a god named "Phoebus" (a.k.a. "Apollo" in Greek mythology).

Well, science is a newly found layer of human beings' cognition of the universe, from the human society development perspective.

In addition, it's said that Phoebus drives around in his chariot. Well, why doesn't he fly about instead, like other gods? Because the sun is too heavy for a god to carry around?

The fate of Hecuba, the wife of King Priam, was so tragic.

"Neoptolemos drags King Priam from the altar of the palace at Troy and prepares to kill the old man with a short sword. Hekabe, kneeling on the altar behind Priam, stretches out her arms in horror and in an appeal for mercy."

Neoptolemos, a.k.a. Pyrrhus, is the son of Achilles.

In Greek mythology, Lethe, is "a river in Hades whose water when drunk made the souls of the dead forget their life on earth".

It corresponds to （冥界的）"忘川" in Chinese.

*Note: The word "Hades" in the first paragraph above means "the underworld; the abode of the spirits of the dead". And it corresponds to "冥界" in Chinese.
