Now because this is an equine RPG, I’ve had to bend these a little from what they “are” in the real mythology, but I think it’s close. I have compiled an alphabetical list of names and descriptions from various sources, including Encarta, Bullfinch’s Mythology, GSP Reference Library: Greek & Roman Mythology and more.
