Answer 1

Pluto is an alternative name for the Greek god Hades,but he was originally not the god of the underworld.Pluto is cognate with the Greek word "Ploutos" (wealth, cf. plutocracy), and, under the original name Plutus, was considered by the Romans as the giver of gold, silver, and other subterranean substances. Because these "gifts" were mined, Pluto became recognized as the god of the physical underworld, which in turn helped him become recognized as the god of the spiritual underworld and thus death. This brought about his mythological relationship to the Greek god Hades.

Leuce was a nymph in Greek mythology, daughter of Oceanus, carried off by Hades, the god of the underworld. She was metamorphosed by Persephone into a white poplar tree while standing by the pool of Memory.

Heracles on his way back from his Twelfth Labour wove himself a wreath from the white poplar tree, or aspen. The outer leaves remained black, the colour of the underworld, but the leaves in contact with his brow became silver-white by his sweat.

ARIANRHOD:(Welsh) "Silver Wheel", "High Fruitful Mother", "Star Goddess", Sky Goddess; Virgin Goddess of reincarnation; Full Moon Goddess. Her palace was called Caer Arianrhod (Aurora Borealis) Keeper of the circling Silver Wheel of Stars; a symbol of time or karma. This wheel was also know as the Oar Wheel, a ship which carried dead warriors to the Moon land (Emania).Honored at the Full Moon. Beauty, fertility, reincarnation.

Arianrhod's name means 'silver circle'. This major Welsh Goddess is the Goddess of reincarnation, the Wheel of the Year, the full moon, fertility, an da primal figure of female power. Some Celtic scholars believe her story represents the shift from woman-centered clans to patriarchal power.

Apollo was the god of music and healing. He was also an archer, and hunted with a silver bow.
Artemis was the goddess of the hunt and the protector of women in childbirth. She hunted with silver arrows and loved all wild animals.

NUADHU also NUD, NODENS, LUD. "Nuadhu of the silver arm." God of healing and water; his name suggests "wealth-bringer" and "cloud-maker." At the first battle of Moytura, Nuadhu lost an arm, and Dian Cecht replaced it with a new one made out of silver. Because of this, Nuadhu was obliged to turn leadership of the Tuatha de' Dannan over to Lug. People came to be healed at Nuadhu's temple at Lydney, and small votive limbs made of silver have been found there.

He was a ruthless Romanian leader. The name means son of Dracul. He is actually well revered in the country for he was effective at protecting the nation from enemies. The Romanian tourist industry, however, is not adverse to take advantage of the myth's popularity. As indicated by others, he was known as Vlad the impaler. He skewed enemies an a large stake like pieces of shish kabob meat. The stake stuck out of the ground and the people bled to a horrible death. Around the walls of his domain, he might have had hundreds of bodies hanging on these skews as a warning to would be attacker. There have been stories that Dracula drank the blood of these victims. But I believe this is only a myth designed to more closely associate him with the evil creature that became his name sake.

Bram Stoker was originally going to name the creature, "Count Van Pire." Thankfully, when he came across the name, "Dracula," he liked that better, and I am glad.

In Classical Greek mythology, Tethys (Greek Τηθύς), daughter of Uranus and Gaia (Hesiod, Theogony lines 136, 337 and Bibliotheke 1.2) was a Titaness and sea goddess who was both sister and wife of Oceanus.[1] She was mother of the chief rivers of the world known to the Greeks, such as the Nile, the Alpheus, the Maeander, and about three thousand daughters called the Oceanids.[2] Considered as an embodiment of the waters of the world she also may be seen as a counterpart of Thalassa, the embodiment of the sea. Although these vestiges imply a strong role in earlier times, Tethys plays virtually no part in recorded Greek literary texts, or historical records of Greek religion or cults. Walter Burkert[3] notes the presence of Tethys in the episode of Iliad XIV that the Ancients called the "Deception of Zeus", where Hera, to mislead Zeus, says she wants to go to Oceanus, "origin of the gods" and Tethys "the mother". Burkert [4] sees in the name a transformation of Akkadian tiamtu or tâmtu, "the sea," which is recognizable in Tiamat. One of the few representations of Tethys that is identified securely by an accompanying inscription is the Late Antique (fourth century CE) mosaic from the flooring of a thermae at Antioch, now at Dumbarton Oaks, in Washington, D.C.[5] In the Dumbarton Oaks mosaic, the bust of Tethys—surrounded by fishes—is rising, bare-shouldered from the waters. Against her shoulder rests a golden ship's rudder. Gray wings sprout from her forehead, as in the mosaics illustrated above and below. During the war against the Titans, Tethys raised Rhea as her god-child, but there are no records of active cults for Tethys in historic times. Tethys has sometimes been confused [6] with another sea goddess who became the sea-nymph Thetis, the wife of Peleus and mother of Achilles during Classical times. Some myths imply a second generation relationship between the two, a grandmother and granddaughter. Indicative of the power exercised by Tethys, one myth[7] relates that the prominent goddess of the Titans, Hera, was not pleased with the placement of Callisto and Arcas in the sky, as the constellations Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, so she asked her nurse, Tethys, to help. Tethys, a marine goddess, caused the constellations forever to circle the sky and never drop below the horizon, hence explaining why they are circumpolar. Robert Graves interprets the use of the term nurse in Classical myths as identifying deities who once were goddesses of central importance in the periods before historical documentation.[8] Tethys, a moon of the planet Saturn, and the prehistoric Tethys Ocean are named after this goddess
