Triptolemus is always a great word to know.
So is Achilles. Does it mean:
the wife of Odysseus, who remained faithful to him during his long absence at Troy
the greatest Greek warrior in the Trojan War, hero of Homer's Iliad, who was killed when Paris wounded him in the heel, his one vulnerable spot
