Well yes, but these four names have something very specific in common.

But that's not it. The connection is neither emotional nor mythological. It's very straightforward.

The names of these women were indeed deliberately chosen from Greek mythology for a reason, and they do indeed pertain to things outside our world, but the connection is both straightforward and far more specific than that.

Status: offline 		YES! Well done!

The names are chosen deliberately--just as Jupiter's moons are all named for his conquests, Saturn's regular moons come from Titans or older myths, as Saturn was a Titan. The irregular moons are in belts named for Inuit, Norse and Gallic mythological beings.

And so it's again your turn, dc!
