Greek Myth Allusions

In the modern world, I see allusions everywhere. First, there is the Nike shoes which are related to the goddess Nike who could run fast. I think the name is supposed to imply that if you wear these shoes, then you will be able to run really fast.

Another allusion I found was to the cerebrus, or three headed dog in Harry Potter. Fluffy is a three headed dog who guards things, just like the cerebrus in mythology guarded the entrance to Hades.
