Greek allusions

The first greek allusion I found was Nike. Nike was the greek goddess of victory but is now the name of a big clothing/ shoe company. I think they used this allusion to try and convince people to buy their product. Since their name is Nike and that was the goddess of victory, they're saying that buying their product will bring you victory.

The second greek allusion I found was Trident gum. The trident was the weopen used by Poisedon, the god of the sea, and it had three prongs. The Trident company probably chose this name for their gum because it has three flavors and a trident had three prongs.
