One allusion i found was an Atlas, which is a book filled with maps of the world. In greek mythology, there was a god named Atlas who was forced by Zeus to stand forever and hold the weight of the world on his sholders. Therefore, an Atlas, being that it holds maps of the world, is named after this greek god, Atlas.

Another allusion i found was the company Hercules, which makes a high-selling video graphic card. In greek mythology, Hercules is the greatest greek hero to ever live. Therefore, the Hercules company uses thier name as a way to show that thier product is the greatest, just like the Hercules in greek mythology was the greatest. In fact, the companys slogan is, Legendary Strength, Quality, and Performance.
