Narito ang isang listahan ng ilan sa mahahalagang tauhan na lumilitaw sa klasikal na panitikan (lalo na sa mga lumalabas sa iba't ibang akda) at ang mga dula at tula kung saan lumalabas ang mga ito.
Sa pangkalahatan, hindi ko isinama ang mga diyos (hal. Zeus, Apollo, Hera, Poseidon, atbp) na lumilitaw sa maraming mga gawa, kadalasan sa medyo maliit na mga tungkulin, maliban kung ginagamit ang mga ito bilang mga pangunahing tauhan sa isang akda (hal. Dionysus, Prometheus, atbp). Ni hindi ko isinama ang mas menor de edad na mga karakter. Ang pasilidad sa paghahanap ay maaaring gamitin upang paliitin ang mga hitsura ng iba pang mga character na hindi nakalista dito.
Gayundin, maaari mong ilipat ang iyong mouse sa ibabaw ng pangalan ng character (ang mas maliwanag na berdeng mga link) upang makita ang ilang napakabilis na impormasyon sa figure na iyon sa mitolohiya.
