Just so you don't get marked down on your homework, Venus was a Roman goddess. Aphrodite was the equivalent Greek goddess. Nike and Hermes are correct, though.

Hey Baby Girl,
Nike- Shoes!
Venus- the Razor!
Midas- not a god but (the Muffler shop- the King - "trust the midas touch.")
Hercules- gotta be something with that- just google it.
i think there's a restaurant called Athena's.
i bet if you just thought of a name of a few Greek gods and goddesses you can find something online for them.
Do well on your homework.
Kindly,
Nickster

the only things coming to my mind are Ajax (but he was a hero, not a god) and FTD (which uses Mercury/Hermes as a logo)
oh, and Mars Bars, but Mars was Roman
