There is a company called Nike. Mostly, it makes athletic shoes. The name of the company is based on the name of the Greek goddess of victory (Nike). There is a company called Oracle. It makes database software, mostly. The name Oracle is based on the belief that the priestess at Apollo's temple at Delphi, was possessed by Apollo when she answered a petitioner's question. While she was answering, therefore, she was called the Oracle.

What about Trojan condoms lol? The name obviously refers to the giant horse supposedly built by the Greeks during the Trojan war as a trick gift fo the Trojans. It was really filled with all the best Greek warriors who broke out at night and killed the Trojans. Doesn't really imply that the condom will work does it?
