Pirithous

Last night John was making himself a new WoW character. He yelled to me that he needed help coming up with a name. He wanted the name of a dark hero.

I told him he should call his new character Pirithous. I mean, Pirithous got stuck in the underworld. That's pretty dark. He and Theseus went there to kidnap Persephone and got stuck. Hercules rescued Theseus, but nobody rescued Pirithous.

John said he wasn't convinced. He tried some names. They were taken. I suggested Phobos or Deimos. They were both taken.

Finally, John asked, can't you think of any other names?

So, I told him, Pirithous is pretty awesome, you need to give him a chance.

So, John looked him up. He agreed that he is awesome. And, that name wasn't taken. So, his new character has an awesome name.
