    MYTHOLOGIST: So basically the story of the Trojan horse tells us that sometimes things we're told "will be fun" and are "no big deal" are actually horrible, and the men behind them are entirely untrustworthy. GUY WHO NAMED HIS CONDOM BRAND "TROJAN" THE DAY BEFORE: uh

        The idea of Greek seamen bursting forth from the Trojan Horse to flood the impregnable city of Troy certainly does the brand no favors.

        Ah yeah the Trojan Horse, famous for spewing many unwanted soldiers to an unprotected city.

        There was a group in the ‘80s who started a human-powered airplane project under the name “Icarus.” The classics prof they asked to tell them about the legend had a suggestion.

        As Ryan had Tony Stark point out in a Squirrel Girl comic, melting shouldn't have been a problem. You might try Daedalus, who was able to fly to Sicily after being imprisoned in the labyrinth he designed, but he's kind of murdery. Maybe avoid naming things after that family.

        I mean... It basically tells you that you won't get the performance you are promised. Quite the opposite. With terrible consequences.
