mc5 - It's all Greeks to Me

We had a game once upon a time where we catalogued the names of some of the lesser-known Knights of the Round Table, such as Sir Kit Breaker, Sir Gycal Truss, Sir Monon de Mounte and so forth. I thought it might be educational to go further back, to Greek times, and list a few of them. John Cleese, Androcles and Pericles may be quite well-known, but what about the tailors Euripides and Eumenides, for example? Extra points will be given for providing some biographical details on these long-forgotten fellows.
