I'm thinking mythologically (mostly) at the moment, but I could try to remember actual ancient Greek names (like Aspasia, for instance).

I'm trying to pick pretty ones, or ones with not too much rape and horror going on! What do you want to know?

Carry on, am keen on several!

If I post my faves any boffins on Classical Lit care to elaborate on the history? My knowledge only extends so far.
