Recently my english teacher asked everyone to go out and find 15 products that are advertised to you that have greek influence in them, and to connect them to the greek myths that go along with them. so far I have the Liquid Force Nemisis. That's It. If anyone's come across anything or noticed something the help will be appreciated, thanks, trevor.

Centurion boats?

Neptune is the Roman version of the Greek god of the sea- Poseidon. Centurion is the designation of a Roman military commander of 100 men. <BR> <BR>How about Zeus bindings.

NIKE is everywhere. Nike is the greek goddess of triumph. The word means "victory". <BR> <BR>lesbians. From the Isle of Lesbos. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/wink.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>If Greek influence is the assignment, then most Roman stuff would be acceptable bc they were heavily influenced by the Greeks. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by jrogers26 on November 19, 2007)
