Hjir is in list mei guon fan 'e wichtige personaazjes dy't ferskine yn klassike literatuer (benammen dyjingen dy't ferskine yn ferskate ferskillende wurken) en de toanielstikken en gedichten dêr't se yn ferskine.
Yn 't algemien haw ik net opnommen de goaden (bgl. Zeus, Apollo, Hera, Poseidon, ensfh) dy't yn in protte wurken ferskine, meast yn relatyf lytse rollen, útsein wêr't se brûkt wurde as haadpersoanen yn in wurk (bgl. Dionysus, Prometheus, ensfh.). Ik haw ek de mindere karakters net opnommen. De sykmooglikheid kin brûkt wurde om it ferskinen fan oare karakters dy't hjir net steane te beheinen.
Jo kinne ek mei de mûs oer de namme fan it personaazje (de helderdere griene keppelings) ferpleatse om wat heul rappe ynformaasje te sjen oer dat figuer yn mytology.
