One Greek allusion I found was of the Greek myth about Apollo. Apollo was the son of Zeus and Leto. He's known mainly for being the god of music and the arts. In New York City there is a theatre called the Apollo Theatre which is very popular for it's music played there. Giving it the name the Apollo Theatre tells us that it is a place of music and the arts.
Another illusion is based on the Greek Goddess, Venus. Venus was known as the Greek goddess of love and beauty. Her name is used for the popular brand of women's razors called Venus. The name gives people the idea that this razor will give the woman a beautiful body and legs if she uses that product. Giving products names with hidden meanings behind them can often beguile the customer to buy their products to earn more money.
