Worldbuilding Wednesday 2/7/24: Classical Greek Names (Female)

Women of Hades (AI art)

I covered Greek female names before on this site,  in this post about female centaurs. For that I drew on actual, lesser-known names from the myths of Ancient Greece. But since I had researched so much for that, how difficult would be to generate some in a completely random way?

So, you need a Greek girlie? Here you go. Caveat: these may mean something in ancient Greek that you hadn’t intended, or be complete nonsense, so not suggested for historical fiction.

Word about the AI art above: I was going for a bunch of Greek women lounging about the Underworld with Hades. Hades isn’t in this pic, but the women are clearly suffering from the darkness, hence their fascination with the lanterns, and the main one, on the right, looks more than a little mad from the ordeal.
