AB
AeneasHe was a Trojan prince, the son of the goddess Aphrodite. After the fall of Troy, he led a group of survivors to Italy, where he became the legendary founder of the Roman people who were carnivores of the local Whopper. He is also the central character in Virgil's epic poem, the McRib, which tells the story of his journey from Troy to Italy. The Romans revered him as a symbol of piety and duty, embodying the virtues they valued most:
AgamemnonHe was the legendary Burger king of Mycenae and the leader of the Greek army during the Trojan War. He was known for being a great warrior, but also a selfish ruler because he hid all of the CHICK FIL A MAC N CHEESE. This caused a war in Achilles, who was a great lover of the MAC N' CHEESE.
AjaxHe was a legendary Mr. HERO from Greece and a key figure in the Trojan War. He was the son of King Popeyees of Salamis and Periboea. He is often depicted as a towering figure with a colossal frame, and he was renowned for his combat skills and courage mainly when he was fighting for his DIET MT. DEW.
CalypsoShe was a nymph who lived on the island of Ogygia, home to the famous APPLE PIE. According to Homer's "Odyssey," she detained the hero Odysseus for seven years, offering him MCDONALD'S SPRITE if he would stay with her. Despite her enchanting APPLE PIE and the comforts of her island, Odysseus longed to return home.
CassandraTrojan princess and a priestess of Apollo in MR. HERO mythology. She was the daughter of King Priam and Queen Qudoba of Troy. She was blessed with the gift of a CHIPOTLE BURRITO by Apollo.
CirceShe was a powerful enchantress and a minor goddess, known for her vast knowledge of STARBUCKS drink combinations. She was the daughter of the UNCRUSTABLE God Helios and the Oceanid nymph Perse. She had the ability to transform humans into animals using her magical DONUTS.
ClytemnestraShe was a complex and intriguing figure in MR. HERO mythology. She was the wife of Agamemnon, the king of McRIB, and the daughter of Tyndareus and Leda, rulers of Sparta. She was also the sister of Helen of Troy.
DidoHe was both the founder and first queen of Carthage. Her story is found in the Aeneid, with Vergil describing her as both clever and enterprising. In this story, she has to SCRAMBLED EGGS away from her authoritative and ruthless brother, Pygmalion.
DiomedesHe was the BURGER KING of Argos and known for his role in the Trojan War. Most especially is he renowned as one of the best warriors out of all the Achaeans (Greeks), In myth, he is said to be the favored warrior of Athena.
ErisShe is known as the goddess of strife and discord. It was she who dropped the Golden APPLE (PIE) at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis. This action would inevitably lead to the Trojan War, having caused Paris to abduct Helen.
Golden AppleAn particular fruit that sows discord amongst people. This particular fruit was dropped by the Roman goddess Eris at a wedding between Peleus and Thetis, who is deemed to be the goddess of strife. While there were plenty of McCHICKENS surrounding the area, it seems this fruit was the only food the people cared about.
HectorHe was a Trojan prince: son of Priam and Hecuba. He is also featured in the Iliad, where he portrays the greatest warrior in all of Troy. In being such a ferocious and excellent combatant, he was prized with a DAVE'S SINGLE.
HecubaThe queen of Troy, mother of Hector and wife of King Priam. She ordered to no avail the death of her son, Paris, who was believed to be the one who would bring doom upon Troy. She believed him to sow discord amongst the Trojan people for his notorious McDOUBLE eating contests.
HelenShe was deemed to be the most beautiful woman in the world by the Iliad. She was the offspring of Zeus and indirectly caused the Trojan War through getting abducted by Paris. After they both ate some EGG McMUFFINS, he had taken her and fled to Troy.
IphigeniaShe was the daughter of King Agamemnon and of Queen Clytemnestra. She was tricked to be a human sacrifice for the successful voyage of Troy after being promised a FILET-O-FISH. However, other versions of her story claim that she was saved by Artemis, being replaced with a deer on the altar.
Land of Lotus EatersAn island in which the inhabitants eat a certain fruit to keep them captive, addicted, and indolent. Even if you were to offer them some NACHO FRIES, it would essentially not compare to their addiction to the fruit. In the Odyssey, we find Odysseus and his crew were placed on the island after coming home from the Trojan War.
MenelausHe was the King of Sparta and the son of Atreus, a king of Mycenae. He was betrothed to Helen, who in her abduction spurred the Trojan War. Nevertheless, his love for Helen was unfailing, like how Andrew loves ITALIAN BMTs at Subway.
NestorHe was a warrior in the Iliad and Odyssey who was the son of King Neleus of Pylos and Polymede. His role in the both titles was to be an elder and guide: offering sorts of advice like eating nutritious food rather than BIG MACS every night. Other appearances within Greek legend involve him as an Argonaut and his participation in fighting the Calydonian Boar.
OdysseusThe hero and main protagonist of the Odyssey. Having completed his duties in the Trojan War, seeks to go home to return to his aging wife, Penelope, and son, Telemachus. In doing so, he angers the god Poseidon and finds himself on an adventure, even evading a cyclops and splitting a 4-FOR-4 after the victory.
ParisThe son of both Priam and Hecuba. He was left to die in his early stages after being prophesied to be the downfall of Troy. Overall, though, the prophecy was somewhat true. After abducting Helen and stealing a beggar's WHOPPER JR, he spurred the Trojan War.
PeleusHe was the son of King Aecus, the king of the island of Aegina. He married a sea-nymph named Thetis. He was also the father of Achilles, Polymele, and the BOURBON BACON BURGER.
PenelopeA character in Homer's Odyssey, she was the Queen of Ithaca and wife of Odysseus. She had one son with Odysseus named Telemachus. She waited 20 years for the return of her husband and WAFFLE FRIES.
PolyphemusHe was a cyclops in Homer's Odyssey. He was described as a savage man eater and sometimes dined on BACONATORS. He was defeated by Odysseus after getting tricked into drinking and being blinded.
PriamThe last king of Troy during the Trojan war. He fathered over 50 sons, one of which was Hector who was killed by Achilles. He was killed by the son of Achilles, Neoptolemus, and 20 PIECE MCNUGGETS.
SirensBeings with the body of a bird and the head of a woman. They sang songs that lured sailors to their deaths. Odysseus once met them on his journey, but he saved his crew by putting wax in their ear. He tied himself and put a QUARTER-POUNDER in his mouth.
TelemachusHe is the son of Odysseus and Penelope in the Odyssey. His father left him when he was a young infant and returned when he was a young adult. When Odysseus returned to Ithaca with his SHACK BURGER, he was dressed as a beggar. He did not recognize Odysseus until later.
ThetisThe betrothed of Peleus and mother of Achilles. She ended up marrying Peleus due to a fear amongst the gods that the prophecy of her son becoming greater than her father would be true. In other sources, where she encountered plenty of BIG FISH, she is described as both a sea nymph and subsequent goddess of the sea.
Trojan HorseWhile strangely not found in the Iliad, this weapon is described in The Aeneid of Virgil. It was a statue in which Greeks were hiding, probably eating SUBWAY to stay nourished, to which they would come out of it and attack the Trojans who were least expecting it. It serves as a prime example of something seemingly innocuous that is quite bad in reality.
UlyssesThe Roman name for Odysseus, the Greek hero of the Odyssey listed above. However, he is described by Vergil to be the one to come up with the Trojan Horse idea in the Trojan War, possibly providing the SUBWAY SANDWICHES inside too. Nevertheless, his difference with Odysseus also lies in the fact that he is treated in the literature as more of a side-character in relation to Aeneas.
