Greek Mythology Allusions

One allusion to Greek mythology I found was the term, narcissism, which is the characteristic of being selfish or having a very big ego. This term came from the character, Narcissus, from a Greek myth. Narcissism came from this character because Narcissus fell in love with himself when he saw his reflection in a pool of water. Naturally, narcissism means self-centered or conceited.

Another allusion to Greek mythology is the Tennessee Titans football team. In Greek mythology, the titans were strong rulers who controlled the earth before the Olympians. The football team most likely chose the name, Titans, because it means they are in charge and control the game.
